It may be possible to bring control of senators back to the states without "CC".I believe that It could be argued that the 17th amendment as used today denies the states powers rightfully appointed to them to appoint senators to congress.Therefore denying the citizens the right of proper representation.It can be proven by past election practices that powers outside of the candidates constituencies can and does control the outcome of elections simply by monetary and advertisement contibutions.This in effect causes the true constituents of the politition to become the out of state special interest group.Rather than the citizens of his or her state.This in effect denies them of their proper representation.
