McCain said changing the rules would be a “body blow to the institution,” adding he thinks it puts them on a slippery slope.

The Senate has been a joke for years. The slippery slope began with the 17th amendment, which called for the direct election of U.S. Senators in all states (states had previously appointed or elected them as they wished).
