re: #292 EPR-radar
Repealing the 17th amendment is simply a cost cutting measure. It is cheaper and more certain for oligarchs to bribe state legislatures to select Senators than to go to the trouble of influencing statewide elections.
We have literally been there and done that, and the 17th amendment was passed as a result of the visible abuses of that era.
To be very clear: I have never proposed, nor do I support, the repeal of the 17th Article of Amendment to the United States Constitution.
