With rare exception, nearly all who enter the DC beltway end up drifting left. It is the nature of popular government.
From the column: Senators, who serve six-year terms, spend most of their time in office immune from voters.
Our Fabulous Framers rolled in their graves when America made a huge mistake, the 17th amendment. Not only did it kick the states out of the federal government, it gave six year terms to elected officials. Both are anathema to the careful and superb system they created.
It is way past time to admit the error and restore federalism before it is too late.
Yes, the 17th was a mistake, but it’s what the Socialists wanted: to dilute the power of the States. Democratic mobs are so much easier to stir up.
