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.

Dangerious Road with Repealing Amendments… Obama would like nothing more than to repeal OUR right to Keep and Bare arms so all of his terrorist friends that rape and kill would have free reign with in the United States too Kill and dissmember who does not join Islam.!!
Once they start, where will they stop!!!
The 17th really does need to be repealed. it lets idiots, who know nothing about politics (like me), elect scum, backed by deep pockets into the senate.
Wyatt Doan yes, yes you can. You can create an amendment that says the constitution no longer applies. But you need 2/3rds of the House and Senate. Then you need 38 states to approve the change.
Republicans control 34 states at the moment, and they control just short of 2/3rd the congress. Should be interesting going forward
Yea he’s payed off..or Muslim !!
