This man is right. The Founders knew the damage that could be done by a “royal” senator, using his incumbency to maintain his personal power for 6-year-term after 6-year-term. The amendment passed at the beginning of the Progressive period was a blatant power grab by members of the senate and needs to be repealed.
Read some history. The then-members of the Senate fiercely opposed the 17th Amendment. It passed the House year after year before the Senate finally caved in to overwhelming public pressure.
