In the article "Will: The continuing fall of federalism" the author George F. Will of the Washington Post brings about a good point. He points out that Senator Feingold could have just apologized for vandalizing the Constitution of the United States. This is written to the general public and to all the senators and members of the states that make major decisions in passing laws.
He is in outrage because they want to change the 17th amendment because some states have had problems with electing good senators. For example, the senator of Illinois that tried to sell President Obama's senate seat. This article was actually written in response to the ordeal in Illinois and the McCain-Feingold evisceration. This will only get approval from those outraged in the recent ordeal in Illinois. Feingold is seen as a progressive but one without apologies... Will says he is trying to get farther away from federalism and the nature and function that the Framers put in place for us.
