State legislatures are just breeding grounds for CongressCritters. They are clearly too retarded to pick US Senators.

The states created the federal government. They should be represented. We wouldn't have half the problems we have today if the 17th was rejected.

While what you say is true, by having the Federal level senators picked at the state level would force the electorate to shift their attention from federal level elections to local level elections because they would have federal level implications. That in itself would be a very good thing.
