With every unconstitutional act coming out of DC, I ask myself if it would have occurred if the States ran the Senate.
For instance, so much of our society has been harmed by Scotus. Would a Senate of the States consent to judges with a history, a written trail of hostility to the 10th Amendment? No way.
I do not dispute the merit of repealing the 17th amendment but I also must face the reality. The reality is that in order to repeal the 17th amendment 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states must agree.
I dont see a path to that goal without a constitutional government. You have the legal right to demand that your representatives only legislate within the powers granted Congress in the Constitution.
