I don’t disagree with anything you wrote. I just said the 17th amendment will not be repealed. I did not write that it shouldn’t.
It’s up to patriots to enlighten their state lawmakers and Pres. Trump that corrupt Congress is effectively stealing state revenues by mean of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Then the clock will be ticking on 17A imo. The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
