1) Term Limits are great, but if they aren't constitutional, the legislatures simply overturn them.

2) Not that it makes any difference, but I intentionally avoid Term Limits out of political strategy: the entire establishment hates them, so the battle is MORE uphill than Repealing the 17th.

After all, the Founders set up State-legislature Senate for just the reasons given -- it's a "used to be" -- it's easier to shove down the careerists throats than telling the careerist "you can't make a career of this sh*t".

Again, I don't expend effort on Term Limits for tactical reasons. I think Repealing 17th is easier than Term Limits -- no local Republican tin horn party hack should/would dare oppose Repeal of the 17th.

("Local" because Constitutional Amendments can start at the State/local level).

3) If you're going to consitutionalize Term Limits (a requirement, IMHO, see above), then why not Repeal the 17th while you're at it.

4) Even with Term Limits, you still need/want a Repealed 17th for the State-legislature check on Federal sh*t, which is not to be underestimated (see discussion above).

This is what's difficult about Repealing the 17th -- people don't understand the ego, conceit, and legitimate "self interest" of the State legislature is a CHECK on the Federal aggressiveness.
