The Utah Senate asked Congress to repeal the 17th Amendment, which was ratified under the Progressive’s of 1913. Utah has boldly challenged a system that was never the intent of the Founding Fathers and suggests that the 17th Amendment has resulted in Senators being bound to special interest groups, that donate enormous sums of money for the Senator’s re-election, and not representing the needs of the people of Utah.
The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Al Jackson of Utah, believes that Senators need to “come home every weekend and take direction from their state legislative (sic) body and from the House and the Governor on how they should vote in the upcoming week.”
Passing with 20-6 SJR2 was sent to the House. It demands that Congress repeal the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Damn right we need to give the states a place at the table when the federal government decides our futures
Leave the constitution alone
LEAVE OUR CONSTITUTION ALONE U FUKS
Don’t mess with our US CONSTITUTION.
The Constitution needs to stand as originally written!!!
Is killing our Constitutiion the goal of liberals?
No, no, no. We need to stop this ridiculous overthrow of our Constitution and Bill of Rights by the muslim madman in the W.H. He will try to declare martial law and take control as a dictator but I guarantee the military will view that move very un-American and well fight to get it back to the people. No amendments will be repealed especially in this climate. The madman in the W.H. is nothing more than a sharia law terrorist in disguise.
The Twenty-first Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on December 5, 1933. It repealed the Eighteenth Amendment which, had mandated nationwide Prohibition on alcohol on January 17, 1920. Don’t recall a slippery slope after that one. 2/3rds of the States are required to ratify an amendment to the Constitution. Slippery slopes won’t, don’t and can’t be included.
Dont repeal…ratify. make strict guidlines for accountability and removal from office.
Yes, the 17th amendment was an invention of our 1st college professor president, Woodrow Wilson. To take power away from the states. I think repealing this adminment is a good start at restoring our Constitution as it was written.
