Our new Representative in Florida 2 is also in favor of repealing the 17th amendment and returning the Constitution to it’s original way of selecting Senators.

I don’t much care one way or the other but probably would vote to repeal the 17th just because I think it would give states more power.

I am for that. It is time to repeal a lot. In fact we should focus on undoing a lot of the mess we have created...no new laws are needed. We already have too many.

Yup. I suspect you'd quickly see an end of the unfunded mandate, among other things. Personally, I think it's a great idea. About the only downside I see is that the entrenched party hacks would have a pretty hard lock on the senate. There wouldn't be any question over murcowski in Alaska right now.
