Indeed. The senate needs a good enema. Repealing the 17th Amendment looks better and better to me.

I know it's not possible on a federal level, but the California Republican leader announced that he would personally file recall papers on any Republican in the legislature who caved on not raising taxes.

I would like to see Frist take charge on this right off the bat. You know, cut a few hearts out or something...

Agree that the 17th Amendment should be repealed.

Congress could be bypassed if three-fourths of State legislatures voted for such an amendment.

It would take two-thirds of the legislatures to propose such an amendment and place it before all 50 State legislatures.

I admit it's not likely to happen any time soon, but it's worth keeping in mind that the option exists.

Are you sure you want these lowlifes ( repubs and dems) to mess with the Constitution. They've already violated their Sworn oaths to uohold it by signing on to Bush's obscene and mis-named "patriot act" in addition to his Fatherland, oops, excuse "homeland " security law and of course, the CFR.

Can you imagine what these thieves would do to the Bill of Rights at a Constituional convention?

I await the flames.

P,S. The ONLY difference between the parties is that the repubs will destroy our freedoms on a "piece meal" basis while the dems would do it at a faster pace, but, at least, the dems don't hide their agenda. I remind everyone that our "conservative" President and "conservative" republican controlled House has already spent $782,000,000,000 of NEW spending in 2 1/2 years. And the beat goes on.

That would imply that they had hearts to begin with. Questionable in some cases.
