Worst amendment ever. Totally destroyed the balance of power between the states and the federal government & turned our constitutional republic into a democracy. The mess of federal spending and abuse of power can be traced back to this horrible amendment.
INDEED!
Consideration should also be given to the once preceeding this amendment, which allowed the camel's nose under the tent of an income tax.
You are soo right! Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments!
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns. Merry Christmas
