I’ve managed to keep this idea off RNS for a while now, but after reading Gene Healy’s column in Washington Examiner last night, I have to put it out there.
I’ve told The Wife this ideaso many times that I’m not allowed to bring it up any more: A quick way to remove half the money in D.C. Congressional politics would be to repeal the 17th Amendment.
The left are always crying about “money in politics…wah…wah…wah!”
But if you talk about the above solution they then begin to cry about “disenfranchisement…wah…wah …wah!”
And then if remind them that Wyoming and Alaska have the same number of Senators as California and New York they wail endlessly about “equal representation..wah… wah…wah!”
And then you get a phone call from their therapists saying how you’re hindering their therapy sessions.
