Why Senate Term Limits Work Best w Repealing 17th Amendment
Voters are less emotionally invested in a legislative appointee.
It’s easier to chew out a legislator over a bad apppointment than it is to turn against the bad candidate you voted for.
That’s just human nature.
So the Senate, rather than being LESS accountable than the House becomes even more accountable.
But note: without short terms [such as once a year], and without term limits, repealing the 17th Amendment solves nothing.
Our Founding Fathers counted on preachers terrorizing their flock with hellfire sermans. The anti-Christians have completely undermined that ethical cornerstone.
Now their fear has been made manifest: our senate is almost the same as the one in Ancient Rome, lifelong oligarchs awash in corruption.
It does not matter whether they are elected or appointed if they can conceivably serve for the rest of their lives.
Just off the top of my head, I don’t want my state legs voting on my Senator. It’s bad enough I’m effectively disenfranchised and have no representation. I’m in a State House district that elects White moonbats. I’m in a VRA-mandated State Senate district which only elects racist Black moonbats, my vote as a White person doesn’t matter.
I’m in a Congressional district that hasn’t elected a Republican since Ulysses Grant won a second term in 1872 (and that only because two Democrats split the vote in the general, one running as an Indy). So U.S. Senator is the only office where I can conceivably have a say. Take that away, and I’ve got nothing. And I’m in a heavily GOP state !
