The Senate is supposed to represent the sovereign states corporately - that is each individual state as a whole.

If that were true, the states would have been given the power to recall them if they failed to vote in accordance with the instructions of the state government. That's not what the U.S. Senate ever was. It was always an elitist institution to represent the wealthiest of Americans in a elected House of Lords, not subject to any shortening of their term in office. Your central premise is false. There is no popular desire to return to the corruption that led to the 17th Amendment being ratified. There is far more support to repeal the 16th or even (among some men) the 19th Amendments.

The issue here is that it is the U.S. House which has the power of the purse, and they refuse to use it. This is the corruption of Big Government that the House refuses to shut that Big Government down and hold it accountable for the treason which is afoot.

It was true because that’s what Madison said!

I think you had better drop your Dr Franklin logo it’s fraudulent!
