The 17th was the greatest damage to federalism between the Civil War and the New Deal and arguably more damaging than the New Deal.

....arguably more damaging than the New Deal. If I understand the writer correctly, he's charging the 17th Amendment with having enabled the New Deal and FDR's presidential imperialism.

...”It’s the Constitution”? No. It’s the 17th amendment, I agree, should be repealed. I’m still looking at the 27th...

FDR gave us the new deal, and Hussein is giving us the raw deal. No doubt the 17th amendment fundamentally screwed up a system that was purposely designed to protect our liberty. The Founders were simply brilliant.
