What they SHOULD be doing is pushing for the repeal of the 17th Amendment -- or, even challenging it in SCOTUS.
THAT would give the State legislatures control over who their senators are.
That is how the Founding Fathers designed it and intended it.
Texas (and others) are finally waking up to the treason that was the 17th Amendment.
The 17th is unconstitutional, as the Constitution explicitly states that no amendment can take a way the States' right to sufferage (voting) in the Senate.
Article V (about amending the Constitution):
Provided that ... no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
The 17th Amendment is a violation of that requirement.
The worst possible amendment. Created little emperors out of senators. When before they were simply messengers for the individual states and acted as their voice in DC. Now they do what they want and the states have no voice in the federal government. This is a broken system that needs remedy
The only thing that bothers me about this is how the Texas Legislature, which is solid Red, caves to the Democrats. I can see it now where a 'good' Red Senator is complained about by the Dems and they 'force' the Republicans hands to recall him.
Yes, Cornyn is a POS RINO. But the Dems will find a way to use this Bill if the Republicans aren't careful.
This should be a federal law. We the People elect these politicians to act in accordance with our wishes. They are supposed to represent us. It is past time that we put these elected officials in their places. They work for us. We are their bosses

100%.
The House represents the people and the people of each state elect their representatives.
The Senate represents the states and each state elects their representatives.
It was perfect to begin with.
Yes, and this move by this guy seems like he is just another RINO type.
He fucking knows that this legislation will mean nothing.
The 17th has to be repealed or declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS.
Nothing else will give the States back their power over the senators.

you're definitely confusing it with the income tax. it was supposedly never ratified.

This^
Pass it!! If we lose TX to RINOS and DEMTards, we lose the rest of the country for sure!!!
This Texan is all for it. We hate Cornyn. As a member of his district, I'd love to see him recalled. And worse.
Nice start. We should also repeal the 7 amendment and return some power to the states.
John boy C is a “war pig”. He sent me a letter bout the big Uk and how is must be defender. I owe him a reply.
