If certain states had not been in such a hurry to ratify that dumb A$$ Seventeenth amendment we certainly would be able to recall Senators and believe me they are the ones so desperately in need of recall.

The 17th Amendment, which is far from "dumbass", has nothing to do with recall. You couldn't recall Senators before then. A legislature could ask them to step down if they didn't vote the way they instructed, but the Senators weren't under any obligation legally to do so until their term expired.
