[Political Junkie Too]

We need a “Peoples’ Panel” to determine who qualifies as a “Senator”.

Before the 17th amendment, that panel used to be the state legislatures. They appointed their Senators.

Right now we have an Administration, Congress and Judicial Branch that doesn’t obey the Constitution. Never mind the 17th Amendment. Right now I’d settle for the correct application of the first 16.

Why do we even need a Senate at all? The Federal government is constantly overruling the states, so why not eliminate states also? The old states could become administrative regions.
