> particularly the repeal of the 17th amendment. The 17th Amendment was a stupid idea to begin with. Anyone who carefully considers the argument for and against will support repeal unless they believe it gets in the way of his/her political ideology. It is readily apparent, if one looks at the absolute political train wreck that is the United States Senate, that the 17th was the wrong direction to have taken. The people who wrote the Constitution understood the issue well. As Madison explained, the United States Senate was never intended to represent the People. It was to represent the States. The 17th Amendment was a misguided amendment, just as was Prohibition (and, I would argue, the 16th, but I'm certain you'd never be convinced of THAT!)
