If you are in favor of getting rid of the 17th amendment, you have to explain how it improves things in the face of the state legislatures around the country passing anti-smoking laws that the majority of people are against, to name just one issue. I’m not saying direct election is all that great considering that I live in the People’s Republic of New York with our two marxists, and came from the People’s Republic of New Jersey which boasts a socialist and a cadaver for senators, but these state legislatures aren’t apt to be any better.

Well, if it weren't for Reynolds v. Sims, one house in each of those legislatures might actually be decent if it represented counties equally. Such might also prevent the socialist majority in each state from trampling all over your rights like they were a Twister mat.
