Truly, the 17th Amendment was the start of the decline. The removal of a voice for the States at the FedGov level certainly tilted the chessboard to a slippery slope from which we have never recovered.

Any reform, state initiated or not, that ignores repeal of the 17th, will fail to arrest our slide into tyranny.
