I understand you, but what happens when the idiot voters puts the democrats back in power? Without the filibuster Harry Reid runs roughshod over the Republicans and everything good is quickly reversed.
We need the 17th Amendment repealed.
The Founders meant for the Senate to be a deliberative body of the States, not a super House of Representatives. The 17th moved us sharply from a constitutional republic into democratic mob rule.
Think how many states have conservative people and local government, but elect Leftist democrats to the Senate, just because one or two big liberal cities get to vote and have the same mentality as New York, Los Angeles or Chicago?
Love it or hate it, this was not what the Constitution intended. The Senate was supposed to be the "saucer" in which the hot liquid of the House "cup" could be cooled. Now it's microphone for Chuck U. Schumer and cohorts.
