[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2072319, member: 5151"] I know several Tea Party folks that would argue about the insignificance of the current movement - seems the 17th pops up in nearly every conversation I have with one of them. That said, I do agree that direct election of Senators is wrong as it upsets the long-term stability that the Senate is supposed to afford us. However, I am not prepared to expend resources arguing for a measure to require state legislatures to appoint Senators without advisory popular elections. I believe such resources can be put to better use defending or reforming other parts of the Constitution and surrounding caselaw and that the 17th Amendment issue is a very minor one in the grand scheme of things.
