We are former senators. The Senate has long stood in defense of democracy — and must again.

"During our service in the Senate, at times we were allies and at other times opponents, but never enemies. We all took an oath swearing allegiance to the Constitution.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment badly needs to be repealed.

All 44 left the country worse off than before they were in the Senate. America would have been better off had they not been born.

Best comment from the WP readers:

I cant believe there are people who actually admit to being a U.S. Senator, let alone being a former U. S. Senator.
