The 17th shoulda been repealed when they repealed the 19th. Worst gd idea ever.

A very big nail in the coffin of the rights of the sovereign states.

[Repeal 16-17]

The 17th shoulda been repealed when they repealed the 19th.

I think you meant the 18th Amendment (Prohibition), which was repealed by the 21st Amendment.

As for the Rhode Island House's vote, it's meaningless symbolism. As for the 17th Amendment, check my user name.

It was a subtle change but in reality a very big one.

The Senator’s powerbase is now Washington DC. That’s where they live and party. They only really come home to campaign.

They haven’t repealed the 19th, but they should. If women couldn’t vote, there wouldn’t have been a single Democrat president in the past century.

I know a lot of women who would gladly give up voting, if it meant that all women could be prevented from voting.
