Assignment #5 J Miller

The article Will: The continuing fall of federalism appeared in TheState.com written by George F. Will of the Washington Post was directed to the American people. He informs us of the unapologetic Senator Russ Feingold would like to follow his McCain-Feingold evisceration of the 1st Admendment continuing to vandalize the Constitution. Senator Feingold would prefer to amend the 17th Admendment when it comes to filling in vacancies of the U.S. Senate. This causing no person to be Senator of state until such person is elected by the people making the Senate as responsive to the people as possible. Although the Farmers gave three political components of the federal government but also different electors to reinforce separation of powers. If you ask me I think Feingold's ideas of electing in vacancies for the U.S. Senate is dumbfounded and a waste of time. Why not put the next person in charge to fill in the position it's their job. That's why we choose people for these positions, plus it eliminates all that time taking up votes.
