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.

I would rather have it that way ,than have people like Obama appoint whomever they want which in his case would be Muslims ! It is so wrong having a Muslim run Congress !Not being racist or discriminative, just stating a fact !
WE DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE OUR AMENDMENTS. WE DO NEED INSTEAD TO BRING THE FED GOV UNDER CONTROL LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. GET OUT AND VOTE CONSERVATIVE. PUT UP OR SHUT UP !
Idiot

Smoke Screen. Get one amendment repealed and it is a slippery slope. What is next? First Amendment. Then 2nd Amendment? Opens the door to the end of free speech and gun ownership.
ENFORCE THIS LAW NOW GO TRUMP!
Is Sharia and Islam illegal in the USA?
The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited
Absolutely. Let’s end the corruption
I have long thought that the 17 th amendment should be repealed. This is what finished shifting the balance of power from the states to the federal government.
This man is on the right track, power to the people.
