reversing 17th amendment is a mission of freerepublic

We call for the repeal of the 17th amendment, which will reverse the independence of the Senate and reestablish the Senate as a representative of the State governments, as intended by the Founding Fathers. This arrangement was intended to be a critical check against illegal federal expansion over the States, and the people residing in the various States, and will act to return the powers not granted to the federal government, as enumerated in the Constitution, to the states.

So what does that response have to do with the price of tea in China?

Can you answer the question about which is better and why.... Post 1917 cloture with 41 Senators needed to stop legislation or pre 1917......

Again I'll also asked you how many States are governed by a Democrat Gov., Senate, House. How would that impact the make up of the Senate? Don't you think those controlled by Democrats will appt democrats?

You want to try those questions on for size.... And don't go with the cut/paste crap. Give me your own answer not someone else's.
