Yes, as Steve says, the Seventeenth Amendment was a travesty. It needs to be rescinded, but who wants to make it happen? We would have to start by convincing nearly all State Governments that they have something to gain from going back to the original plan for selecting the Senators. First, let us hear from someone who knows why the 17th came up as a needed change? The reason I have seen presented shocked me. Why did it happen? Let's hear something on that.
