ConCon would end in total disaster and catastrophe.

There is ONE fix that would correct soooo much of this crap.

REPEAL THE 17TH AMENDMENT.

If you understand republican government, think through what returning SELECTION of senators by the states TO the states.

The progressives knew what they were doing when they jammed through the 17th and drove a stake through the heart of the process of the individual states selecting senators, by having senators ELECTED by popular vote.

Think about it. The best example of the result of repealing the 17th is that it would probably put an end to the likes of Chucky Schmuky Chumer. He keeps getting re-elected because of the all the dumb a$$es in Manhattan and Buffalo. The rest of New York state be damned. If the New York state legislature were to make that decision, the voices of the rest of the state would have a far greater impact. Not saying they would always do the right thing, but it would go a long way toward crippling career senators. Like Dingy Harry.

A senator’s term would be valid only until a new governor would take office. And most governors of most states are term limited.

The Senate approves judges. The Senate puts impeached judges and presidents on trial. The Senate, populated by people beholden to the states themselves and not illegal alien voters (think that fish faced wannabe commie-dian from Minnesota, Al Frumpen)would be able to fight back against the tyrant.

End of rant.

The 17th amendment does need to be repealed: It turned Senators from being “State Animals” to them being “Federal Animals”. They now work for the Feds, not the states.
