As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Post-17th Amendment ratification Schumer needs to start leading the Senate to respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments manufacturing crises to oppress everybody under their boots...

Consider that the states effectively have "veto power" over continued unpopular, unconstitutional actions of the feds.

More specifically, all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments (16&17A), little or no discussion required imo.

In fact, I challenge the states to ram the repeal amendment for 16&17A through the ratification process faster than Nancy Pelosi irresponsibly rammed unconstitutional Obamacare through the House. /semi-sarc

Insights welcome.

To: Amendment10

I’d have no problem eliminating the income tax and popular election of Senators... I doubt that’s going to happen though... it would be seen as retrograde even by conservatives.

The Senators should represent their State governments... that was the original design and I think that design was brilliant. The Federal government should be content to fund themselves with tariffs and license fees... also well thought out excises. On the practical side, none of that is going to happen.
