You couldn’t infer that for sure from my comment? Yes, I am very much against repealing it. It was passed for a very good reason (massive corruption and gridlock) and if I was alive then, I would have cheered it’s passage. Honestly, I don’t get how the idea of repealing it has become like some kind of panacea to supporters of that idea. I think it would have the exact opposite effect that supporters of the idea intend. Mark Levin? Sorry Mark, I gotta disagree.
Repealing it by the way is not on the table, and never will be. It would go over like a lead balloon in a serious debate.
Politicians, generally speaking, are scum, reducing the electorate for our extremely powerful US Senate to only politicians is therefore counterproductive and insane.
My state legislators are SWINE. They can have MY vote over my dead body, fRiend.
We call for the repeal of the 17th amendment, which will reverse the independence of the Senate and reestablish the Senate as a representative of the State governments, as intended by the Founding Fathers.
This arrangement was intended to be a critical check against illegal federal expansion over the States, and the people residing in the various States, and will act to return the powers not granted to the federal government, as enumerated in the Constitution, to the states.
