Your comment just proves that we are having this debate because many people no longer understand the Greatest System of Representation in the world. Your use of the word Federal shows your lack of knowledge. The General or National Government or the Union is what you refer to as Federal. Alas, we have forgotten,..... and those who forget will lose the inheritence that was given them. The past strikes hardest on the ignorant,...... in the form of a lost future. Federal refers to a group that is combined together as equals, in this case the Union is of the States,... not of you and your friends.
This was all the eventual outworking of the mortal wound that Pres. Lincoln was forced to use inorder to save the Union. The loss of State election of senators was a continuation of the National Government getting rid of true rivals to its power. Why should the National Government be able to say what constitutes a Federal Government? Federal by definition is plural and in what way is the General Government plural? States. It is even worse for some who believe that the Judicial Branch has become a little to upity of late. Thus centralizing the centralized power to the Supreme's.
I'm sure that many people here already know this vital information, right?
