Seen in TheState.com, George Will's article, titled Will: The Continuing Fall of Federalism, explains that Sen Feingold wants to change amendment 17 so that we can elect State Representatives by higher officials rather than an electoral vote. Will thinks we should leave it so that if there is a Senate vacancy, there is a vote by state constituents. Feingold also supports restricting political financing so that there are restrictions on the time, content, and quantity of political speeches.
I think we should leave the law the way it is now. By restricting political financing the people will be withheld information that they could need. Feingold wants to use this to his advantage in the votes of the people. This could make it much easier to have political scandals in almost any situation.
