I finally figured it out, Levin must be a time traveler. I mean it's obvious he was close personal friend with James Madison, yet he's clearly not over 200 years old.

I've suspected time travel for a while.

It also explains how the eeeeeeeeeeeevil 17th amendment is directly responsible for the 16th amendment. Obviously, the eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil elected U.S. Senators went back in time and forced their state legislature appointed counterparts to pass the 16th amendment. There's no way such a group of wise elder statemen would do so otherwise, since they represented state interests and opposed any and all blanket federal control.
