Conservatives want maximum control to remain where the Constitution placed it-at the state and local level, where the individual has maximum control over his own affairs and community. This is a core, identifying principle of our founding regularly under assault by liberals.

There is now a Constitutional Amendment to ban state governors from appointing Senators. It may very well be inappropriate for Senate vacancies to be filled this way, but according to everything we're supposed to stand for, that is a matter for individual states to decide, not something states are supposed to have dictated to them by completely unaccountable ivory tower elites in Washington.

So the question is, should the federal government even be considering such an Amendment?

I stayed away from that poll question...,Vote yes if you mean maybe ,all others vote NO...should you agree to disagree please abstain. Thank you for voteing,or not. PLEASE REMEMBER...right is left and left is right.

Well, sadly the principles of the US Constitution only matter to a few.
I’d say the majority of Americans have limited to no knowledge of it and the majority of politicians disregard it. Of course, the federal government should not be considering such an amendment but, the federal government is now bloated and ravenous for more and more power so, it does not shock me.
