Keyes trusts the seventeenth Amendment, which gives the immediate decision of United States Senators, as opposed to their race or arrangement by a state governing body, unreasonably decreases the force of state councils. In 2004, Senator Zell Miller presented S.J. Res. 35, that would nullify the seventeenth Amendment, trusting it gave a lot of energy to Washington's extraordinary advantages and was an assault on federalism. Additionally supporting that thought was Libertarian Lew Rockwell.

Keyes contends, "Congresspersons were initially picked, under our Constitution, by the state assembly - for the basic reason that the Senate should speak to the state governments, not geographic substances, but rather the administrations that are enabled to deal with the issues of the states, as sovereign elements that, under our Constitution, held the remaining forces of government not assigned to the elected government...our laws, in the condition of Illinois, are passed by the state lawmaking body. In the section of those laws, are the general population of this state "disappointed"? Obviously they're most certainly not. At the point when the lawmaking body settles on a choice, puts a criminal law on the books, it is "The People v. So-thus" when that law is disregarded, on the grounds that the lawmaking body is ventured to speak to the general population. That is the importance of our Constitutional framework."

In 2004 when the Republican chosen one for the U.S. Senate seat from Illinois needed to leave because of a sex outrage, Keyes was enlisted to answer the chime. Some considered him to be a carpetbagger and more regrettable, as a wolf in sheep's clothing for reproving Hillary Clinton's New York Senate offer after a brief residency in that state. Keyes said, "I profoundly hate the annihilation of federalism spoke to by Hillary Clinton's readiness go into a state she doesn't live in and put on a show to speak to individuals there, so I surely wouldn't impersonate it." He faulted this fraud for running at the Party's solicitation and to the one of a kind circumstances under which his interest had been requested. By and by, the last results were Barack Obama won 3,524,70270 votes to Keyes' 1,371,88227.

Keyes is a backer of capital punishment and amid his fizzled Illinois Senatorial battle was solicited, "How does your backing from the death penalty, and restriction to fetus removal, struggle with your Roman Catholic confidence? Keyes denied a contention, expressing "Fetus removal and the death penalty are at various levels of good concern. Premature birth is characteristically, dispassionately, wrong and evil, though the death penalty involves prudential judgment which is not, all by itself, an infringement of good right. There are sure issues that unbiasedly damage the most central ordinances of good fairness, and fetus removal, for occurrence, is one of them- - the taking of blameless life...But on the off chance that you take a position that destroys the qualification between pure life and blameworthy life, then you not just disregard an ethical group you crush the essential premise of the law, and that is a definitive discourtesy for human life."
