Without digging too far into the issue, I like the idea of repealing the Seventeenth. The constitution was authored by thoughtful, indeed brilliant men. Let’s go back to the original intent, before international collectivist ideas spread into American society and made ratification of the anti-Republicanism Seventeenth.
The old ways are often correct ways.
That's right. Foremost, the sovereign states are not represented. Everything is jiggered around popular demand.
The state would be much more immune to populism in it's deliberation.
And secondly, look what it does to the lobby. It would take 51 lobbies instead of one. That is a whole lot harder to do in the first place, and it puts each lobby respectively at the whim of things local to the state.
This would fix a whole lot.
Sasse is right, as usual.
