I think we should return to the Constitutional requirement that the State Legislatures elect the Senators, not the popular vote of the state’s citizens. THAT would be a GREAT idea!
I don’t agree. Politicians are a-holes who would make bad choices.
In fairness, that was the system when the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates occurred, and voters chose pro-Douglas or pro-Lincoln legislators, thus indirectly having a popular election to the Senate.
Again, it’s not and never was a good idea
No right thinking person approves of non
democratic features in our constitutional
republic
Appointed Senators was a corrupted process
States rights gives blue states all the cover they think
need to behave unConstitutionally
Focus on establishing term limits for SCOTUS and
Congressmen instead of antiquarian whining
