Pkrbkr, Regardless, this country has become completely F'd up since allowing direct elections of senators. I don't get this latest argument from the "America is a republic, not a democracy" crowd. Allowing state officials to appoint Congressional senators seems much more susceptible to corruption, favoritism, and unaccountability than letting the people directly elect them. In other words, if you thought the Senate was corrupt today, imagine how much more corrupt they'd be when senators are appointed ... Tenchusatsu P.S. - The solution is term limits, not appointed senators ...
