So states should only have a limited right in choosing their representation? If McLame is serving the interests of HIS State (which is supposed to be his job) why should anyone have the right to deny the state that right?
Of course, if the legislature were choosing, I would assume that, at the latest when a new majority were to assume control, the majority would only support a senator that were in general agreement with their priorities. Of course, with McLame, both parties get someone ammenable.
One major drawback to the ways of old - the McLames of this world would have far fewer constiuents who must be payed from their slush funds in order to get enough support.
Sorry, you didn’t convince me.
