Read up on how Senators were elected prior to the 17th Amendment.

Our Founding Father’s were not stupid

From the article:

“On the issue of Guantanamo, there are currently 39 detainees remaining. The annual budget is $549 million per year,” Durbin said. “Each of these detainees is being held at the expense of $13 million per year. If they were to be incarcerated at the SuperMax federal prison in Colorado, the amount would be dramatically, dramatically less.”

I actually agree with Durbin on this point because the Gitmo turds are more likely to die an unnatural death at Supermax than at Gitmo.

Linda Graham is only acting tough because he knows the RINO’s on the Judiciary Committee will vote to advance her.

So another Freeper who doesn’t trust the wisdom of the Founding Fathers!

One of the arguments for the 17th amendment was the legislatures were too slow to fill vacancies. States would go months without Senate representation. So, it seemed to be a job no one was clamoring to get. Anyway, I contend every legislator if they had the right again to appoint senators would see him\herself in that job. The job would automatically be more competitive. Now senator are just a Congresscritter-at-large, the job of representing the states is a much lower priority. They’re captives of national party concerns first! The Founding Fathers intended the states to have a say in national & foreign policy through the senators, that’s effectively not the case now. It’s just another prom king\queen contest.

Adding term limits following the repeal would be gravy!

“And then what? Our magnificent, unresponsive legislators appoint their pals for life.”

The repeal 17th Amendment crowd can’t guarantee a better Senate or Senator because the Senate before & after is “the same” Senate.

The American establishment owns/owned the state legislatures, just as much as they did pre 17th Amendment.

Plus you’d never get a Senator “Trump Type” in the pre 17th Amendment Senate.

Nope, just McConnell Types who paid their party hack dues.

They love him at Fox.

And he loves them for giving him a free national stage at least once a week.

How many times has he lied through his teeth on national television Hannity/Fox?...Everytime.

One consideration for the repeal of the 17th Amendment is that 50 legislatures would be more difficult to centrally control through massive funding of candidates by wealthy individuals, often out of state. Instead of bribing one politician, they must bribe dozens. I don't think there would be much ideological change in the Senate, but the selection process would be more difficult to control on a national level.
