“Selection of Senators must be returned to the control of the States by repeal of the 17th Amendment, which is among the worst mistakes made in our history.”

?????

Even though I have great respect for Mark Levin, IMO his constitutional amendment project is purely a very clever and successful vanity effort designed to sell his latest book...having ZERO chance of success..which is obvious.

Do you see any sign that Levin is making any headway in gaining a constitutional towards getting a supermajority of state legislators to approve repeal of the 17th amendment???

This is not Levin's idea, except by adoption. No less than Sarah Palin, (et al.), is behind it. The initiatives have begun in several states. Glenn Beck is behind the idea. Cruz is behind the idea. The mechanics of the idea are not insuperable. After all, the 19th Amendment was successfully repealed .... why not the 17th?
