The Article Will: the Continuing fall of Federalism, is a article wrote by George F. Will in The state.com. This article talks about the 17th Amendment saying, "That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct." As Wisconsin is doing something similar to this propose. Wisconsin will replace the Senate if someone gets appeal, instead of waiting six years for their people to vote during the election.
Why should this happen? We Americans waited in long lines anxious to vote this year. So why should our privileges be changed because of the seat in Senate being vacant? We should be able to put the person in the seat that has knowledge of what he/she is doing. What if the seat gets screwed up with some dummy that has no idea of what is going on? We do not need any more downfalls in the United States.
The Constitution should not be touched to much, it has great history that helped build the United States of America. The Constitution should have some add-ons or a few minor things should be changed not a whole bunch of this and that.
