The 17th is the single worst Constitutional Amendment every ratified.

Bar none.

Allowing a personal income tax is a very close second....

Maybe so, but the 14th, 16th, and 24th are not far behind.

Ditto!

If we still had states appointing senators, we’d never see a GOP majority again. This author is either stupid, or a Democrat(but I repeat myself.)

How about the 18th? Took a while to repeal but thank goodness it was.

[nickcarraway]

But if we repealed it now, the Senate would lurch left.

Somebody once called it the “1913 Revolution”; because the US also got the Federal Reserve.

Yep, ratifying the 17th Amendment, worst thing that ever has been done to our country. With one Amendment, states rights were abolished, Governors had little or no say in national affairs and mandates, and permanent Senate fiefdoms established by the ruling elites. The balance was totally wiped out, states lost their sovereignty and became pass through handmaidens of the federal government.

Repeal is the only answer.
