Assignment #5 cBurt

"The continuing fall of federalism" was written by George F. Will of the Washington Post. This article was posted on "The State" website, which is considered South Carolina's home page. This article was written to show that the seventeenth amendment gives total executive authority to the Senate. This means that if a seat in the Senate becomes empty, they have the power to appoint whomever they want to fill this chair.
I believe that the vacant spot should be chosen by the people because it is our right. I do not agree with the fact that Senators should be able to pick their friends to fill a vacant seat, it's just not right.
