It’s a start. It won’t be worth anything until we repeal the 17th amendment.

I disagree. While the 17th is an obstacle, it's not the ONLY answer to recovering states' rights. In fact, I'm not convinced it would have that much impact in and of itself. I don't believe it should, but I think the 17th could actually remain in place as long as enough states flexed their Constitutional muscle re the 10th and other amendments. Not to mention the whole body of the Constitution.

JMO, but I believe we should push, prod and otherwise encourage every state in the union to begin to assert their Constitutional rights AND duties. I'm all but convinced it may be our last shot at revocering our Republic.
