Assignment #5 A.Scalf

This article, "Will:The Continuing Fall of Federalism", was written by George F. Will and appeared in the Washington Post. I think it is directed towards the American people.

The 17th amendment currently states that if a Senate vacancy should occur, an electoral vote will take place to fill that vacancy. Feingold is trying to change that amendment to where an "executive of authority of such state shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies."

Will thinks the 17th amendment is appropriate in its current state and disagrees with Feingold. Personally, I agree with Will and also disagree with Feingold.
