You might be surprised. I don’t know anyone who does not support this idea, although I confess that there a lot of people I don’t know.
Still, there is - to my knowledge - a solid constituency to push this along.
I’m all for it. The Tea Parties in VA are solidly behind the 10th Amendment initiative, which I believe just made it out of committee in our State Senate. Repeal of the 17th Amendment is another worthy target.
I don't.
Just look at what happened when Obama left the senate seat in Illinois. That type of corrupt behavior was common before the 17th Amendment came into effect; perhaps even worse, often legislatures could not even agree on anyone to seat.
It's the only one of that period's Amendments to the Constitution that I regard as successful.
