The *real* reason for this amendment (and you won’t find this in the history books)
goes far beyond simply making the Senate into a “populist” group.
It is part of deconstructing the States. The ultimate goal of
the Globalists/Statist was and is to erase all vestiges of
local autonomy, whether it be State, County, City or Town.
The reason for this is simple.
They want to destroy personal freedom and the liberty of the individual.
Under strict construction of the US Constitution, coming
after one’s personal liberty wasn’t all that easy.
But if you take away the layers of protection afforded by home rule,
administration of justice county by county and the autonomy
of the States which was the founding principle and impetus
for a Federal Republic (as opposed to a pure Democracy or
a Monarchy or whathaveyou) then the individual is left
exposed to the brute force of the central government.
Making the Senate into an Oligarchy bought and paid for
by political parties beholden to special interests was
just one brick in the wall.
And those special interests were/are primarily
the Globalist/Statists I mentioned earlier.
That was a great piece, thanks.
Well, Trump can win and turn this country around, but he can turn it back into a true republic?
How does one do that? The senators (spit) are never going to go back to the old days and obama does whatever he wants like it’s a joke.
What happens when we get another bad president who doesn’t care about congress, like obummer?
