Repeal the 17th Amendment

This web-log calls for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and addresses the hegemony committed by the US Senate. The first significant step to remove the domination and unmistakable corruption deriving from the National Government and the restoration of the Federal is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Americans should fear the steady hegemonic growth by the Senate oligarchy because the US Constitution cannot be spoiled by bombs, the courts, or the President, but only through malevolent legislation.

Lobbying and the US Senate

Austan Mogharabi of The Democratic Piece has an interesting commentary, Lobbying and the US Senate, concerning George Will's recent article, Sen Feingold's Constitution, which appeared last weekend in The Washington Post. It's worth reading.

On another note, but along the line of thought concerning the role of lobbyist and the senate, check out Senators and Special Interests: A Public Choice Analysis of the Seventeenth Amendment, 73 Oregon L. Rev. 1007 (1994), by Todd Zywicki, which explains the effects of special interest lobbying in the US Senate.
