Not ALL state legislatures are corrupt. This is NOT the 19th century. I wish progressives would leave Free Republic. Repealing the 17th amendment should be a primary principal to be allowed to post on "Free Republic". The 17th amendment is the ANTI Free Republic amendment.

If I ran things being against the repeal of the 17th amendment would be grounds for zot.

Corrupt or statist, take your pick. I wouldn’t want my legislature electing MY Senators and we have a GOP supermajority. Those running around talking about repealing the 17th as a great idea have little to no clue about the subject as to why it was implemented in the first place let alone how it would work in today’s climate. But the only thing you’re cheering for here is empowering politicians at a time when they need their power drastically lessened.
