Shortly before he died, I attended a lecture by Justice Scalia. He clearly said he believed that the 17th amendment was responsible for what is wrong with Washington DC swamp.
Good for him
I don’t agree.
There are lots of reasons D.C. and politics are the way they are
Correct Justice Scalia advocated two things: Repeal of the 17th and filing as many law suits as the ACLU has done for the 1st Amendment, but for the Second Amendment. He was baffled why an organization does not “cluster bomb” lawsuits on all levels of Government for the 2nd Amendment... He was a great American and very missed.
