You contradicted yourself.

When the states booted themselves from the senate, it meant that ALL power would soon float upward into DC. The popularly elected senate is not there to enforce the 10th Amendment; it is there to reflect the will of the mob.

The restoration of federalism, the vertical separation of power is a fundamental principle of our framers’ constitution. They knew that popularly derived bodies soon descend into majoritarian tyranny.

That is exactly the point that I was trying to make. Sorry it wasn’t clear. I would like for all the various parts to get back to what was intended to begin with, but I have no faith that even a ConCon would do it, and in fact think that the results would likely be yet another aquiesence in mob rule.
