No.
Removing yet another check on centralized power would be suicidal.
Instead, we should be repealing the 17th Amendment. |

Amen to repealing the 17th. Now, about the reason why D.C. was never given statehood in the first place. Do they really think they're fooling any of us? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
