There YOU go penalizing "The People" for a non-problem.
The problem is the wielding of Power nowhere provided the Feds in the
first place. Disallowing "The People" from choosing who they want to
represent them will not change that.

I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this
ground: That 'all powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States or to the people.' [X Amendment] To take a single step
beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers
of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power,
no longer susceptible of any definition.
-- Thomas Jefferson: National Bank Opinion, 1791.
