The 17th amendment is codified in the USC. Why you feel it necessary to pollute the thread of patriots trying to fix a broken Constitution is beyond me. Your side(progressives) won this battle a long time ago. We are just discussing going back to the original intent and for some reason YOU CANNOT LET IT GO. In this matter you are a thug. It is you who is the childish one.
Sir, it’s called stepping in and keeping you from slamming your hand over and over with a hammer. What you arrogantly suggest repeatedly is going to happen with repeal, isn’t. Your side has never been able to make a demonstrable or provable argument with respect to the reality, especially given today’s political dynamics. It is pie in the sky fantasy. We are all patriots here, but unlike you, I do not put my faith and trust in myths or damnable politicians, sir.
