    This is all posturing, the Constitution was amended and it’s not getting un-amended without 2/3rds of states signing on to reverse the 17th.

      3/4 to change it, 2/3 to bring it to an official vote of congress.

      Or 3/4 of states need to sign onto changing it.

      If that’s how they were attempting to do it, they’d have my support. Well, not my support for the act of repealing the 17th amendment, by my support of their right to advocate for a 28th amendment.

      Hell, if it came with uncapping the number of House representative, I might actually support it.
