I will admit, repealing the 17th would be of greater benefit if the Supreme Court hadn’t ruled that all legislative houses must have proportional representation. I suspect there would be more houses in the Republican camp if some were based on geographical representation, not proportional.

Remind me the basis for such an absurd ruling?
