James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution wrote: “The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures.” John Jay, co-author of The Federalist Papers is quoted: “Jay then informed Governor Clinton that, unlike the Senate, where the two-thirds rule was in force for treaties and impeachment, the lower house had nothing to do with treaties; it represented the people whereas the senate represented the states – for the Federalists always a significant distinction.”
The U.S. House of Representatives was to be the legislative body for the people. Each district within the states of the Union would elect an individual to Congress (Art. I, Sec. II) who would represent them under Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution. The framers were adamant that the states remain sovereign entities and have equal representation in Congress. Thus, the U.S. Senate would be comprised of two senators from each state. (Art. I, Sec. III)
Those senators would be chosen by their state legislature to go to Washington, DC to represent the interests of the state, not the people. If they didn’t, the state could recall them and choose a replacement. The Senate confirms federal judges and supreme court justices. The Senate must advise and consent to ratification of treaties that have been negotiated and agreed to by the President — Art. II, Section II, U.S. Constitution.
The framers of the Constitution wisely understood the absolute necessity of ensuring the people would have the right to vote for our representative in Congress, and at the same time because they all jealously guarded freedom and liberty, the states must also have equal representation. We the people would have the ability to remove – via the ballot box – miscreants and scoundrels while the state legislatures could recall their U.S. Senators who acted against the best interests of their state. The absolute right of the states to equal representation was wiped out when the Seventeenth Amendment was declared ratified on April 8, 1913. It was not.
From my January 16, 2012 column: 36 States Did Not Ratify 17th Amendment – What Will States Do?
“I once read a comment below a news item regarding former senate candidate, Joe Miller, [R-AK] after he came out supporting a repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment. The useful fool who submitted the comment said old Joe wouldn’t have to run for office and worry about getting beat. Miller’s opponent and alleged eventual winner, RINO Lisa Murkowski, opened the pie hole in her face: “…was the first to criticize Miller’s comments, issuing a news release entitled “Joe Miller reaching new extremes every day.”
“We have seen Joe Miller take some extraordinary positions in this campaign, but I never imagined he would support disenfranchising himself and every other Alaskan,” Murkowski said in a statement. “Joe is no longer content with simply taking away federal support for Alaskan families, now he wants to take away their right to select our United States senators.” (End of quote)
“Yeah, those who gave their lives and blood to create this republic reached “new extremes” when they voted to create two separate bodies for the U.S. Congress, one for the people and one for the states.
“Think Murkowski wants to give up her power as a U.S. Senator? When pig’s fly. That foolish hen votes for legislation that affects my life and I can’t vote her out of office. Another dangerous female, Olympia Snowe, RINO from Maine, voted for the unconstitutional Obamacare declaring her constituents wanted it! Well, I’m not her constituent and I sure as hell don’t want it. The vile, Charles Schumer, [D-NY] would like to see the Second Amendment wiped off the books and every time he votes for a bill, I have no way to send his “progressive” backside packing.”
[Note: Snowe did not run for reelection so that RINO was finally gone. Replaced by ‘Independent’ Angus King. Pro-killing the unborn, fund Planned Parenthood, supports the myth called Same Sex Marriage, legalize “recreational pot”, believes America is a democracy, climate change hoax advocate, opposed more border security; long list On the Issues is here.]
RINO Murkowski, has been in office under a law that doesn’t exist for 27+ years. The damage done by U.S. Senators since the non-ratified Seventeenth Amendment is enormous. Angus King votes, allegedly for the people of Maine but bills he votes for affect me and I can’t vote him out.
Soros and McCain: The unholy alliance hidden in plain sight, May 16, 2025: “What started as a quiet alliance between George Soros and John McCain has now become a visible partnership between their heirs, Alex and Cindy.”
Apparently, the very wealthy Cindy McCain hates Donald Trump. Went to work for career criminal and liar, Joe Biden; supported him in the 2020 stolen election. Biden repaid such loyalty as Cindy was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the rancid, corrupt UN as the Food and Agriculture Ambassador.
I sued the State of Texas in 2014 to keep senate candidates off the ballot. It would take another whole column to give you all what happened in court, obscene, but the bottom line is the judge (brought out of retirement to hear my case and one civil injury quickie appearance) in a huge, empty court room said no one was interested because it happened so long ago; fraud was okay with da judge. I appealed to the appellate court in Austin and those cowards issued their blather and that was that. No sense in appealing to the Texas Supreme Court for obvious reasons. The best we can hope for is, like prohibition, get a constitutional amendment passed to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment.
Oct. 12, 2014 Lawsuit filed: Seventeenth Amendment not ratified
The Constitution of the United States – Article V: “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” How about states out of session during that entire coup?
A Con-Con (as in con job) is NOT necessary to get a constitutional amendment passed by the states. An Article V Convention would be the final nail in our coffin. National Archives: Constitutional Amendment Process: “The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention.”
The damage done to our republic after the Seventeenth Amendment was declared ratified could easily be a 500-page book. I did put up a ‘help’ page for state legislators so they could get a fresh perspective regarding that amendment. The Seventeenth Amendment: A Cancer on our Constitutional Republic last updated in 2010 so yes, I’ve been on this for decades. Of course, one of the big problems is the ubiquitous “our democracy” propaganda. [1]
Practically from the first day Trump took office, junkyard dogs behind the scenes were already plotting to get rid of him. Trump started nominating judges at the federal level which have to be confirmed by the Senate as well as the Supreme Court. Then old Joe who was nothing but an empty suit with obvious advanced dementia (I think first ages of Altzheimer’s) in 2020[2] took his turn and here we are today.
Lawsuits against Trump right now are like Niagara Falls – more than 100. And who’s hearing the cases? Federal judges that have shown exactly how partisan they are and disgracing their profession. Just the same as happened during Trump’s first term. One can hardly keep up with all of them – even me; I spend a lot of time reading and researching. A lot.
As what happened with my case in the Texas “legal” system, there will never be an acknowledgement the Seventeenth Amendment was short two states and therefore, was not legally ratified. However, it will be up to We the People AND our state legislatures who need to grow a spine to get a constitutional amendment passed into law. Need only be two sentences. Henceforth, the Seventeenth Amendment is hereby abolished effective Dec. 31 of whatever year. State legislatures can decide if the “incumbent” senator should be chosen to continue in DC.
Think NAFTA would have passed had there been no Seventeenth Amendment? Not a chance and the same goes for GATT. Rotten damn treaties that destroyed our most important job sectors: manufacturing, industrial and agriculture. NAFTA’s replacement is such poison we have to get out of it[3][4]. Whoever was advising Trump on the “USMCA “Trade Agreement” should be shown the door and don’t come back.
The effort to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment is bigger than people know and why don’t they know? The prostitute media (print, Internet, boob tube, cable, radio talk shows) make sure – just like they deliberately lied about Biden’s mental absence – the subject never comes up.
Our Founding Fathers made it difficult to amend the Constitution but it’s been done 27 times. Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses.
Of course, this presents a problem as a whole lot of current senators fear their state legislature would not choose, he/she, if the Seventeenth Amendment was abolished and the states regained their power and sovereignty. I have NO doubt had the 17th Amendment not been in effect at the time, we would have seen different judges and Supreme Court Justices over time and we sure as hell would not be seeing this AVALALANCHE OF LAWFARE/LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMP RIGHT NOW.
I have NO doubt John McCain would have been recalled by the State of AZ and numerous others had the fraudulent Seventeenth Amendment not been on the books.
Could such an amendment to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment ever pass? Perhaps the American people who are sick and tired and fed up with what they’re seeing – again – will DEMAND CON-gress introduce the amendment so Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, can get it distributed to the 50 states.
How about state reps and senators? Think state reps and senators don’t know U.S. reps and senators? Of course they do. The Republican Party holds state conventions and getting the Seventeenth Amendment abolished should be right at the top of the list of priorities: Have the state legislature put together a demand CON-gress introduce an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Aren’t states tired of being a door mat, basically castrated by the U.S. Senate on so many critical issues?
Sad to say but here in Texas our legislature which only meets every other odd year for 140 days has pretty much been ignoring the top priorities of the GOP state conventions. Primarily due to rotten, corrupt RINO’s as Speaker of the House who put Democrats as head of committees. Ultimately, it’s going to fall to We the People in every state to demand this gets done or we will continue down the road to Hell despite Trump’s best efforts. And BTW: Why aren’t the big names on talk radio (Sean Hannity, Clay & Buck and others) talking about this? Forget filling air time about the 2026 mid-terms all the time or complaining about the judges. There is a solution and that is abolishing the Seventeenth Amendment.
Yes, a state could choose a rotten, corrupt politician but it’s much easier to primary out those in the legislature who sent another Marxist, RINO or member of the Democrat/Communist Party USA to the U.S. Senate. That would send a powerful message to incumbents.
My daily email in-take is overwhelming. Sincere Americans send me links to videos “you must watch” or TikTok clips that are pretty much worthless (altho’ I love the doggie ones.); bear with me on this. Too many videos give no time, date, context, just like this one: Pam Bondi Exposes Judge Boasberg’s Secret Deal—The Room Goes Silent Instantly!
The person reading a script gives no facts, no date and how would he know exactly what went on behind closed doors or even in the court room? Nothing to enable one to confirm the veracity of this tale told. Interesting but in the end, it was a waste of 32 minutes of my time, but thousands of people watched it, believe every word without any identifiers.
Let me give you a quick example as a warning. Devvy – gotta watch this video! Homeless Veteran On Trial Until Judge Heard His Name And Stood Up In Silence. I go to the link, watched about five minutes. Stop; someone reading a script. Read the comment section from caring Americans about this “former Marine, highly decorated” and so forth. Then I read the text below the video, “This is one of those touching stories that remind us of what truly matters…See more. I did and it says: DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction created for entertainment purposes only.
So, you see, it’s a fake made up story but to watch even a few minutes it looks and sounds so real. The big print giveth, the small print taketh away. Those who watched it with caring compassion have no idea unless they did what I did and read the See More. They were suckered into watching a fake story and no doubt passed the link along to others.
There are excellent videos and documentaries out there; I don’t have a list of every single one but do the best I can in judging what is more Q nonsense and which are important for Americans to watch. After over three decades, I can usually spot the junk within a few minutes. The two below are absolutely worth your time so I hope you will watch them and share everywhere.
