Great to see you focusing on the substance of the argument.
Speaking of which -- I submit that Repealing the 17th Amendment is something that would put a real check on the Federal Govt. by way of the state legislatures (e.g. that putrid John McCain -- the AZ state legislature wouldn't put up with him for a week).
Repealing the 17th is something the lowest level state representative "tin horn" can campaign on -- giving it a substantial amount of "free advertising". Plus give some life the thankless jobs of the local Republican "party hacks" (Trump victory notwithstanding).
I ask as if you agree (and my guess is you do), but changing the Constitution takes industrial strength effort -- and that's another conversation. Meanwhile, for all its high profile "victories" of late, conservatism has suffered nothing but defeat for the past 100 years -- thanks to the McCain/Bush types.
