That is very interesting. The repeal of the 17th is one of the keys to protecting our freedom. We would have to be ready for the debate as the dims would say we are against democracy but...we would catch them flat footed and would be able to control the narrative at least for a while. Do you think any of our conservatives would have the guts to broach the subject?

Senator Mike Lee on Levin’s show last week said a return to federalism is our only hope. I don’t put it beyond possibility that a few Tea Party senators on the floor of the senate might call for repeal of the 17th.

The national media could not ignore it. Wouldn’t it be great for the good guys to direct the debate for once?

Along with the 16th and 26th.

I for one am VERY MUCH against democracy. I am sold on a Republic. Now if only so many so-called conservative Republicans would stop referring to this country as a democracy and defend the republic maybe we could make SOME people understand that REAL democracy is a hideous form of government. Far too many Americans are convinced that republic and democracy are just two words with the same meaning. Those who know there is a difference sometimes imagine that a democracy is much better than a republic which is like believing that a cowpie is better than an apple pie.
