18 nominations (Gorsuch shows up if the search term is "justice" instead of "judge"; 2 confirmations/appointments (Gorsuch and Amul R. Thapar, 6th Circuit)
If there was ever an amendment to repeal the 17th and revert the election of senators to the statehouses, I wonder how many statehouse would vote for it?
IMHO, it’s too big a bone to pass up giving them considerable clout to elect candidates to represent their STATE’s best interests (as what it should be).
Thoughts?
