		<description><![CDATA[The Wall Street Journal ran a piece recently about the current anti-Washington sentiment reviving an old debate over the 17th Amendment.  This Amendment, which provides for the direct election of US Senators, has been denounced by some Republicans.  A repeal of the law would involve appointing senators by state legislators. &#8220;People would be better off [...]
