We can show it to you two - but we can't understand it for you.

Lowry is talking to an audience that does not include us. Pay him no mind.
— we no longer live in a representative republic with individual rights.
*************
Individual Rights have always been fluid since the beginning
of time. Look at a little history of this country since 1492 when
Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Who ruled and how it’s changed
over time.
We can show it to you two - but we can't understand it for you.
Considering Brian Kemp's history, she may have actually won Georgia...
The California Democratic Party is clearest example of power politics at it’s best - a political machine which has produced victories for the left for many years.
I like that image!
RIP Norm..
The level of probable cause of a 2020 stolen election is OUT THE WAZOO! . .hundreds of SWORN affidavits, videos of suitcases under the desk, poll watchers forced out, windows taped up, coordinated vote count stoppage. . .If it could be detected by fraud-sniffing dogs they would be howling and doing triple back flips. Yet no formal investigation only idiots like this guy Lowery "lunacy," "unfounded," "false accusation". . .NUTZ!!
Next.....The minute you see Rich Lowry there is no need to read the article.
RL looks like a rodent, a mole, to be precise. He just gives me the heebie jeebies.
I smell a troll or an elitist a-hole?...otherwise why would you stay on this board when you disagree with almost every prevailing opinion on FR.
What is your path forward?
There is no way 2/3 of the current house or senate would propose a repeal of the 17th
That leaves the state capitals calling for a convention.
Yup.. fully agree
Rich Lowry is a deep state traitor..... and an idiot.
Do you get wafers with it?
I agree with a lot of the positions on this board including what has happened in Afghanistan.
Based on the lack of fraud presented to the courts by Trump’s lawyers, other evidence presented in many courts by Trump’s lawyers that was poorly presented and rejected (including by Trump’s own appointed judges) and from other evidence such as certified hand recounts, I completely disagree with the continuing conspiracy theories trying to tell me there was overwhelming fraud in the November 2020 election.
And I agree with what was written in this article.
If it makes you feel better to call people names, have at it.
Once and for all, Lowry, get off the magical mushrooms.
The left needs more sheep like yourself.
Rich Lowry, the thinking man’s Erick Erickson.
1. What is your path forward?
So I’m an oracle and can see the future? We had a path forward for a few moments in time. A President that had a vision of the path forward. Power controls the path and we are on a different path now.
2. There is no way 2/3 of the current house or senate would propose a repeal of the 17th.
Agree completely, and you could carry that idea forward the next two decades and probably still be correct.
3. That leaves the state capitals calling for a convention.
That’s clearly not going to happen either. It takes 36 for a call and 38 to ratify and the State Legislatures are not really buying the option. Why would you hang your hat on a single option going nowhere anyway? Not to mention the media circus should COS succeed in their insane desire for a Constitutional Convention which they couch in the less controversial name, Convention of States. It’s the same thing and COS will lie to my face and tell me different.
The real kicker is the simplistic idea that absolutely nothing can go wrong in a Constitutional Convention. I’m not willing to bet the farm on that fallacious thinking.
So, States are either Sovereign or they are not. If they are Sovereign, it is up to them individually to recall their Senators. Notify the fed they are not going to put up with further unconstitutional mandates, requests, suggestions, actions, etc, choose senators that represent their interests and that will be one State at a time. We’ll see who has balls of brass, because the Fed isn’t going to easily relinquish what they have managed to steal through the passage of time.
Whatever States can, will, and must do to unravel the mess will be legal per our Constitution and founding documents. It may involve not allowing citizens to send their hard earned dollars to Washington DC without first going through the State Treasury. Thus avoiding the Federal financial blackmail hammer sure to be utilized by the Congress in their attempts to reign in the Sovereignty States have over the Federal Government.
States may be forced to ignore Supreme Court decisions supporting Federal Sovereignty over the States, or Presidential edicts doing the same, but in reality, someone is going to have to lead out at great risk to the State and it’s citizens. So, rather than convincing 535 in Congress, the Supreme Court, The Executive Branch, and tens of thousands of bureaucrats in DC. A State only has to have a Governor and Legislature that understand the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, to know what needs to be done. Oh, and they might want to have “We the People” on their side, when they finally choose to do the right thing.
We might still be waiting a long time, but the wait will be worth it.
Thank you for the insights. Let me digest this for a bit.
