IMHO, all we need to do is enforce the constitution we have now. The only problem with it is that it is not followed.

I think at this point the best way to accomplish that is through the states....for a peaceful resolution anyway.

Well, as I think I briefly touched on in the body of my post, the presence of the states was fundamental to the framers’ plan. Two democratically derived houses of congress was never seriously considered. Were it not for difficult travel in the 18th century, our reps would be elected annually. Six years between elections? Not a chance. The voting conduct of senators proves our framers concern, for even radical leftist senators generally moderate in the year leading up to election.

The framers set interest against interest to secure our rights. The states have a different viewpoint than joe blow voter.

Consider this, if the states appointed senators, would anti-10th amendment jurists have a chance to a federal bench if their past writings expressed disdain for the 10th?

Want to repeal Roe and a host of unconstitutional decisions? Repeal the 17th and watch.
