The 1787 constitution accounted for man's fallen nature, his vice. It sufficiently divided power.

Since 1913 our two popularly derived houses of congress, and one with six year terms, have served as the foundation of the progressive’s jihad against freedom.

The 17th must go, and only an Article V convention can possibly recommend its repeal.

BTW, and speaking of virtue, Scotus entirely repealed republican government less that three weeks ago.

In post #61 I asked, “What then in your opinion is the remedy to our head first dive into tyranny?”

Actually, I would love to see an Article V convention, right alongside nullification by states and committees to explore secession.

Repeal the 17th - yes, if we can. Return the size of the House to the constitutional requirement so that it stops behaving like a country club aristocracy and more closely resembles a representative republic. The states and localities have their work to do as well and remove some of the little dictators they have in courts, boards and commissions. If the people of this country had any real courage, general strikes to starve government income would become routine until the political parasite class found real jobs and worked like the rest of us must.

Just a few ideas but nothing quite as grandiose as mangling a perfectly good constitution.
