But, conservative governors appoint conservative senators, no?
Thanks for replying.
If I understand your question correctly, governors never appointed federal senators. The Founding States had given the power to vote for federal senators only to state legislatures. This is because the Founding States had expected the state legislatures to elect federal senators who would vote to kill all bills that stole unique state powers and state revenues associated with those powers, such revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphasis added]." —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe (See middle of third column.)
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But now, because of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, the corrupt Senate wrongly helps the likewise corrupt House to pass bills that steal state powers and state revenues.
