BTW, the entire purpose of the House of Representives was to be voted by the "mob", so as to counter the Senate as witnessed by Grecian/Roman democracies.
So, I have no problem with the House. It's the Senate I believe has been usurped by Amendment.
I now understand that having a elected state Senate Congressional rep is one more political corrupt avenue for lobbyists.
However, what say you about the problem of each State with liberal majorities having the authority to appoint their Senators? Conundrum?
I have no problem with the “mob” voting for House members. The 17th robbed the “States” of representation in the Republic. The current election of Senators depends entirely on manipulating the “mob” with money to buy a Senate seat. I really think no matter which party runs the Legislature in each State they would not be appointing Senators that would willy-nilly give up State perogatives to a Federal Government as is the case now.
