We actually need to go the other way - and repeal the 17th Amendment
Have you ever seen the "End the Suffrage of Women" street petition skit that appeared on The Man Show?
Yeah, the "dumbing down" process has been a big success.
The 17th amendment is, as put into practice, unlawful, and we have not had a duly seated Constitutional Senate since it was put into practice.
NO STATE SHALL BE DENIED SUFFRAGE WITHOUT IT’S CONSENT!!!
That means the ONLY way for the 17th amendment to Constitutionally go into effect was for it to be ratified by EVERY state in the union at the time. And not the people of the state, THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE.
And there were about 12 states that never ratified it...
The Constitutional balance of power between the people, the States, and the Federal government has been destroyed. Combine that fact with the fact that the Federal Reserve act gave the feds the power to create money out of thin air, and you see a situation where the States become just the lap dogs of an all-powerful federal government.
