I’m surprised that Abbott didn’t toss repealing the Seventeenth Amendment in there. Having State legislatures appoint Senators directly again is super popular in wingnut circles.

An idea they love…right up until it would have meant Scott Brown would not have been the 60th vote against the ACA, which would have allowed Democrats to pass the House bill rather than engaging in a bit of legislative sleight-of-hand with the Senate one.
