an oldie but a goodie

A very "goodie". I think the 17th amendment was the biggest constitutional mistake we've made. If only one of the presidential candidates (Fred?) would come out against it.

Sigh, it won't happen. The country couldn't possibly understand why the Senate was originally set up to preserve the rights of the several states. Sigh.

I'm pretty sure Ron Paul is against it. Not that that is going to matter.

Seems the Frederalist would be an ideal candidate to push that.
