I know Publius will get behind an amendment to repeal the 17th as will I.

I think though that Amendment 28 is a ‘new thing’ that voters will get behind faster rather than revisiting an ‘old thing’ like the 17th. Because the history of the 17th will be dredged up if a serious effort is ever made to get its repeal going. All the negative history of pre-17th days can get in the way whereas the 28th might get voters to nod and say “yep, sounds good to me”.

But I am glad to see you sticking with the original founder’s meanings and intents. I’m pretty sure you would support the 28th if it started buzzing around your area.

I’m for either or both.

We could also encourage a Presidential candidate to run on a pledge of not signing any bills that include Congressional exemptions from the law. They may ultimately renege on that pledge, but that will then be a scar on their legacy.
