    Soft-pedal the wisdom of the Framers for a while; the next two years of divided government are a bug, not a feature. http://tinyurl.com/ku47g2b

        @Profepps Have you written on the 17th Amendment? Thoughts on it?

        .@WillRinehart Not only written about (see AMERICAN EPIC) but litigated! The case is explained in the book. Bottom line: for it.

        @Profepps Will check it out. Seems to speak volumes to me about the intent to have state voices in Congress & hence a divided government.

        @WillRinehart Not clear on how it speaks to designing government for a vicious two-party system, but I am a bit dense.

        @Profepps Oh I agree with your piece. We live in the Jacksonian world, while the Founders believed in a classical polity.

        .@WillRinehart Just for your interest, read this case, which I worked on. The text of the amendment is tricky. http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=11904908795323957815&hl=en&as_sdt=6&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr …

        The founders did not anticipate divided government? You ever hear of checks and balances? @Profepps

        I find it stunning that a self-professed con law nerd thinks that congress and the Pres wouldn't disagree @Profepps

        The fact the Const allows for overriding vetoes and even impeachment, suggests the founders anticipated disagreement, no? @Profepps

        Indeed the origination clause suggests the founders anticipated disagreement w/in congress @Profepps

        I don't know how anyone claiming knowledge of the const could say the founders did not dissipate disagreement between the branches @Profepps

        @AaronWorthing "I find it stunning" trope is condescension, not argument;you have of course misstated argument. Not stunning, happens a lot.

        .@AaronWorthing Well, sir, if you care, you didn't "come off" as condescending. You were condescending, and without proving any warrant.
