I expose your fraud of a stance (again, WHERE is that list of names of Senators that would be serving in your magical Senate, ones defending states rights ?) and you act hysterically indignant. My query to students would be asking them the REAL reasons why the 17th was brought about (and again, ratified by the states, mind you) and how the members that served prior to it failed to live up to that Constitutional snuff you mentioned.
I’d also have them list what likely persons would serve in the Senate today (with repeal) based on the dynamics of the individual states. It would NOT be pretty.
Yawn. Answer my questions.
