Because we no longer have a Senate that is beholden to states' interests that oversees the confirmation of federal department heads?

Because we now have a Senate that is more interested in protecting party interests, therefore they look the other way when their party is in control?

Because the 17th amendment drives Senators to toe the party line or else lose campaign funds that weren't necessary before the 17th, when state legislatures appointed their Senators without the need for elections?
