Two things:
1.) Republicans have quoted Alexander Hamilton a hundred times about his warning that this would happen
2.)The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution established the popular election of United States senators by the people of the states. The amendment supersedes Article I, §3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures.
It wasn't the Founding Fathers who screwed up - it is our bought and paid for politicians.
