Assignment #5 N.Orr

The article titled "Will The continuing fall of federalism", written by George F. Will. The article appeared on website www.thestate.com. The article was written to show that Sen. Russ Feingold wants to amend the 17th Amendment on how a senator shall be elected.

The article is directed towards the American people. The basic argument is that Feingold is saying "no person shall be a Senator from a state unless such person has been elected by the people, and not give the executive authority the writs until the people fill the vacancies by election. After all, look at the Blagojevich-Burris situation. The question is if this amendment is allowed, what other fiasco may arise and call for an amendment.
