On Sunday, February 22, 2009 George F. Will wrote an article for the Washington Post entitled "Will: The Continuing Fall of Federalism". It was also printed in The State a Columbia, South Carolina newspaper. This article was written to get the author opinion across about the proposed amendment to the 17Th amendment.
In light of recent events some senator want to amened or repeal the 17Th amendment. They want a special election or senate to decide who will replace senators who leave or die during their term. Right now the governor of that particular state can appoint whom ever they chose in most states.
I believe that in most cases governors are trust worthy enough, at least I hope, to appoint the best person.
