The Senate holds no allegiance to anyone but the Senate, per the 17th amendment. Sure, they are popularly elected, but that’s the sole connection they have to a representative republic.
I say since the Senate has been unresponsive to the public during this immigration debate; really shows behind the scenes they never were, they were always beholden to wall-street first. Something the “Progressive” seventeenth Amendment was supposed to “fix”: I say we ‘Repay’ the favor, and “Repeal” the 17th..That would really show ‘em!
