ROFL. Who elects the politicians to the state legislature then? City and county politicians?
The 17th should be repealed, along with the 16th.
Fortunately, the one thing you cannot gerrymander is a U.S. Senate seat. The same cannot be said for state legislators. I don’t want politicians electing politicians to “represent” me, especially when neither do. Repealing the 17th is the ultimate in statist politician empowerment.
Too bad the field marshal wasn’t around to help right the original Constitution. / sarc
