"The Continuing Fall of Federalism" can be found on thestate.com. The author, George Will, writes this article to talk about Sen. Russ Feingold and the 17th Amendment. Feingold wants all of the US to be like Wisconsin, in the way that they elect their senators. Midway through the article Will states, "Feingold says mandating election of replacement senators is necessary to make the Senate as 'responsive to the people as possible.'" He then says that the House was made to be responsive and the Senate was made to be more deliberative.
Feingold would like for all 50 states to elect their senators just as Wisconsin and three other states are currently doing, but he wants it all to happen at once, because "state by state would be a long and difficult process." Will concludes the article by saying that Feingold is and unapologetic progressive with more and more for which to apologize.
