Trump Should Bring a Constitutional Gun to the Senate / Swamp Knife Fight

But of course, the leftists eviscerated the Founders’ original intentions about the Senate with the 17th Amendment. As a result, the Senate has become simply a more entrenched version of the House. Therefore, if a cabal of geriatric swamp-loving RINOs wants to try to shanghai the president’s mandate because the close balance of party power in the chamber allows them to do so, to paraphrase Sean Connery in The Untouchables, Trump should bring a constitutional gun to their knife fight and keep them from doing so.
*** end quote ***
Once upon a time, in a place far away, the Dead Old White Guys tried to ensure that “these United States” would have a strong voice in the Federal Gooferment. Unfortunately, a befuddled “We, The Sheeple” agreed to strip the “these United States” this power.
Talk about getting money out of politics, Senate “campaigns” funded by rich donors create a “dark money” swamp of conflicted interests. Maybe today’s “Senators” should be like race car drivers and wear the logos of those that “own” them.
Repealing the 17th Amendment would go a long way towards restoring Federalism that the Dead Old White Guys want to restrain tyranny.
Hard to do? Not so much now as “We, The Sheeple” seem to be fed up with the current system.
“Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.” Mel Gibson as the character Benjamin Martin in the movie The Patriot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187393/quotes
Well, at least, you can have the petty tyrants close enough to “influence” them or tar ’n’ feather them. Bringing the selection of Senators back to the local legislature makes more sense than having something that duplicates the House of Representatives.
And, now that we have Zoom meetings, why not keep all the Senators and Representatives “locked up” in the home States? No need for them to go an conspire with these other drones and parasites.
Argh!
