[Repeal The 17th]

I would be really cool if the founding fathers had set it up
where the State Legislatures would appoint two senators
to represent the interests of the States at the federal level.
I wonder why they didn’t think of something like that.

But in their infinite wisdom the Founders knew it would be far better that the senators be chosen by popular vote. Otherwise, the senators would be held accountable by the state legislatures instead of inattentive voters every six years. It’s far better that the chosen senators be given a national stage to dance on. Far better that states be weakened and the federal government strengthened. Brilliant plan.

I see what you did there. And I agree. Repeal the 17th
