Wrong again, BoAsshole. Support of the repeal of the 17th amendment would mean embracing the.Constitution, as it was written. Slate is just trundling out the tired old Progressive lies they used to scare the people into ratifying it. Repeal of the 17th would simply mean the citizens, and the States would have more control over the federal government than at present. To the central planners and their useful idiots (BoAsshole, Kelvin, MartyFuffman, retarded666, permastupid and the rest) taking power out of Washington, and returning it to the States, is a thought too horrible to imagine.

The Tea Party group that wants to repeal the 17th Amendment should go jump in a lake somewhere. I DO NOT want that right taken away from me. If they don't like whomever is running, drum-up opposition - DO NOT CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION for your 'personal' whim.

They won't need to. I learned from them how to save myself. Ted hunts in my neighborhood. Used to play cribbage with my mother.

Sorry, misread it. If he wants to repeal the 17th - he should jump in the lake. I want to retain that right.

Judging from the comments, I have little doubt that the far right would like to restore the constitution to its original state. It would allow the keeping of slaves and prevent voting by those pesky "uppity women" and "uppity non-white folks", as well as exclude the voting by the poor who do not own property.

That pesky little right to amend the constitution is, however, very legal. The provision for it was made in the original constitution, for which the majority of your fellow citizens, unlike you, are thankful.

I'm sure many of you folks, after President Obama's election, were upset that changing demographics allowed someone who was not a "great white Republican father type" to be leader of this nation. Hence your fascination to going back to an earlier time before the consitution was amended.

Your imaginary "Leave it to Beaver" all white world, where all problems are solved in a half hour, is not the direction of our country. The last two presidential elections should have given you a clue

boo I am well aware that you are not the brightest star in the sky but even you should know the 17th was added long after the constitution was written so your last statement is ????????

Bojester-isn't what you said plain old common sense ? Do away with what you do not like and keep what you like? It's a lousy idea but they have the right to suggest it be done . At least they are proposing a constitutional amendment while your idol changes and ignores written law,at will, in direct violation of the constitution with no complaints from the peanut gallery. Good Luck America !!!

So you know why they wish to change the 17th amendment? After reading it, I'm not sure I understand, but I'll study it further. Everything isn't about race, Brain...er...Brian. Is it even possible for you to post anything without bringing it up? You have a serious fixation pal.

originally senators were appointed by the governor of each state who in turn was elected by the people of said state, now the senators are elected by the people of the state, the only difference I can see is now they have to buy more votes which might slow them down a bit
