Why does John McCain associate with a known murderer and a decedent of Nazis? John McCain needs to explain his appearances with George W. Bush the mass murderer. Why would John McCain associate with a man who bombs and kills women and children. Does John McCain know that George W. Bush has had hundreds of thousands of people killed? If John McCain doesn't know that doesn't that mean he is to senile or stupid to become president.? If John McCain does know about Georges evil deeds than what does that say about John McCains character? So John McCain needs to come forward and level with the American people about his association and allying himself with George W. Bush the mass murderer. Maybe John McCain wants to be an even bigger mass murderer than the Evil George and is just taking lessons from him on death and killing. If that is the case, again why would anyone want to vote for him? So ok all of you evil people who want to be overrun by illegal Mexicans who want to have your job shipped overseas, who want your taxes raised and want more death and killing than by all means vote for John I want to kill Iraqi's McCain. Or as he is known in civilized societies as simply Insane.

Should this disqualify him from being a Senator and cause his resignation?

Senators should be appointed by the state.

Well, I assume you know that the Constitution provided for that, but the 17th Amendment eliminated the phrase "chosen by the Legislature thereof" and replaced it with "elected by the people thereof." So the Constitution has required popular vote election of senators since 1913.

We probably would not get honest politicians either way.

You are likely correct. I do think that if the constitution hadn't been amended that we would have been better off as far as states rights are concerned.

The history of states rights can be a fascinating study.

Probably the biggest stake in the heart of states rights was the 14th Amendment. This amendment was the subject of much resistance and coercion and probably was never lawfully ratified. It is the first sentence that is germane:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Initially, there was no Federal naturalization process. American citizenship flowed from state citizenship.

With the second part, the Federal government stripped the states of any authority to determine who was a citizen of their state. It is rather difficult for a state to press a claim of sovereignty when an external force determines who is a citizen of that state.

Despite mythmaking, the original Constitutional government consisted of eleven states, not thirteen. It was a voluntary union of the states that had ratified. George Washington was inaugurated on 4/30/1789. North Carolina ratified on 11/21/1789. Rhode Island held out more than a year until 5/29/1790.

The ratification by New York stated:

That the Powers of Government may be reassumed by the People, whensoever it shall become necessary to their Happiness; that every Power, Jurisdiction and right, which is not by the said Constitution clearly delegated to the Congress of the United States, or the departments of the Government thereof, remains to the People of the several States, or to their respective State Governments to whom they may have granted the same; And that those Clauses in the said Constitution, which declare, that Congress shall not have or exercise certain Powers, do not imply that Congress is entitled to any Powers not given by the said Constitution; but such Clauses are to be construed either as exceptions to certain specified Powers, or as inserted merely for greater Caution.

What were originally State Militia (to protect states from Fed expansion of powers) have become National Guard. The size and power of the Fed government has grown exponentially. To a large extent, States rights were extinguished, not particularly for the common good.
