Absolutely correct! Everything else pales into insignificance. The 17th enabled all other anti-Constitutional atrocities!

"IMHO, it was the 17th Amendment that really destroyed federalism."

I agree, followed closely in its danger (in a different context) by the 16th Amendment.

Both of which (amendments) owe their existence to Theodore Roosevelt.
