Imagine if state legislatures still appointed senators.

First, we wouldn't be reading about a senator publicly opposing his state's law.

Second, anti-9th and 10th Amendment judges wouldn't infest federal courts.

Imagine if state legislatures still appointed senators.

David Dewhurst would be the junior Senator from Texas and Mike Lee would be a Salt Lake City attorney.

The Founders knew what they were doing.

Those that tinkered with it after that? Not so much.

The Constitution was like a new born baby - purest at its birth.
