Correct, the uniparty is alive and well.
Well past time to repeal the 17th Amendment.
I do wonder what the practical effect of that would be. The vermin infest everything, importantly a large swath of "thought and belief." State legislatures are not immune to the same disease that has infected the US federal government. The effective subversives are the ones IN the government.
There is no rule on paper that can prevent bad people from taking control.
Not to say don;t repeal the 17th, I'm in for that move. I just wonder what effect it would have in fact. I understand the effect in principle, on paper, etc.
With the repeal or nullification of the Seventeenth by States comes great responsibility. In other words, States would suddenly have to start acting like examples of a sovereign ruling authority, One who’s power and authority eclipse it’s present master the Federal Government of the United States.
Clearly that is an impossible bridge to cross. States would much rather not be bothered. Much easier to cow the public into submitting to tyranny than seizing and exercising principles of LIBERTY and FREEDOM. Absent a leader or leader States, we are sunk. Rudderless, subject to the whims of the tyrannical master.
