The only way to stop influence pedelling and other legislative corruption is through term limits. Repealing the 17th Ammendment will not accomplish that. Its a waste of time. Thats my opinion. I don’t need ot provide you with any evidence. You seem capable of ferreting it out for yourself. :-)
Do you understand why the framers created a senate of the states rather than a second popularly elected body?
Did you know that with the implementation of the 17th Amendment terms have grown substantially longer? The reason is that with both the House and Senate are now representing the same constituency. The lobbyist only have to influence 1 group of voters to gain favor. No longer must they deal with 2 differnt masters with 2 interest.
@GeorgiaGirl “That’s my opinion. I don’t need to provide you with any evidence.”
I understand. Hard to do so when don’t have any evidence.
Since your response was so evolved I will address opinions as follows:
Opinions...they are just like the anus...everyone has one...they stink...and rarely does any one want to hear them. In the future, if that is the depth of your argument, you may want to take that into consideration (IMHO). :-)
