The Morning Rant![]() Some progressive nitwits are even calling for the abolishment of the national senate. They have no idea what the senate's actual purpose is, do they? Of course, they almost have an excuse. A wisp of a ghost of an excuse. Thanks to the XVII Amendment which rewrote Article I, Section 3 so that senators would henceforth be elected by popular vote, instead of appointed by the state legislature, as originally intended. So now the senators are just another kind of representative, and so they're difficult to distinguish from the actual representatives in the House. Amendment XVII introduced a distortion into our system of government as it knocked out one safeguard the founders specifically included to counteract mob rule under the guise of "democracy." They correctly understood that the states needed representation at the federal level. Not the people, their representation is already handled by the House of Representatives. It's he states *as entities in themselves* that need representation. We are not like other countries that are merely divided into regional administrative units (like 'departments' in France or 'prefectures' in Japan), but rather each of our states are different, each with it's unique origin, history and with cultural and and linguistic differences, and some, like Texas ans California, used to be their own countries before they were states. In fact, the original 13 states were 13 states before they were the United States, their different governments existed before there was a national government. But by the 20th century, the senatorial selection process had become deadlocked and/or corrupt, vacancies stretched out for months, and in many parts of the country, party machines owned the state legislatures, so the appointees were dismissed as puppets. So Amendment XVII was put in to solve these immediate problems, but I think it brought about some long-term instability and inched the country a bit closer to the mob rule that the founders feared. And on an entirely different subject, this is something ace has already touched on, but if they're going to have Super Bowl half time shows that look like something out of a strip club, they really should issue some kind of a warning. I feel sorry for the family with young kids whose dad didn't get to the remote in time. Next time, they should flash a warning before the show, something like: "This half-time show has been rated R for half-naked, aging pop tarts simulating sex acts live on stage. It may not be suitable for children or anybody else with good taste or sense. Please do not throw dollar bills at your TV screen." ![]()
