George F. Will wrote “Will: The continuing fall of federalism” for the Washington Post. I believe this article was written to inform people of the changes that Senator Russ Feingold is trying to make to the 17th Amendment, and also to convince readers that this is a very bad thing. The author is clearly against this idea, because the article is very one sided, even insulting to the Senator.
The argument that he is trying to make is that making these changes pushes us farther away from the original intention of the Constitution, which also pushes us farther away from federalism.
