As I posted on another thread; one has to remember what a congress critter really is. Most are lawyers that could NOT make it in the vile and corrupt world of lawyerism...so they resorted to politics. They were born liars and thieves and once OPM (other peoples’ money) becomes available to them, they’re like foxes in the henhouse. They got rich the old fashion way; they stoled it, swindled it, stepped on the little guy to get it, etc. When you mix the mental disease of liberalism with this kind of ilk, you get what you see now residing in DC. That whole stinkin’ rats nest needs to be voted out of there and all new everyday-type people (non-lawyer types) selected from Harry Reid’s “unwashed masses” need to be voted in. It surely couldn’t be any worse than this bunch of used a$$-wipes. Term-limits need to be instilled to keep the corrupt trash outta there. As you can tell, I’m a real big fan of this corrupt bunch of lying thieves.
However, I see term limits as the wrong solution - setting artificial time constraints on a Congressperson's tenure does not address the true source of the problem: the expansion and concentration of political power in the Federal government; in this instance, in the Legislative branch. Remove Congress' power and authority to act on matters beyond the scope of their Constitutional duties, and many of their excesses would no longer be possible.
If Congress will not voluntarily limit their extra-Constitutional meddling, than the Supreme Court must be prompted to act. Perhaps they might also examine the jurisdictional excesses of the Federal Judiciary and the Executive branch while they are at it.
In any case, we are never going to get back to what America was intended to be until the people decide that the costs of a government run amok are too great and painful to bear in relation to whatever pilfered trinkets are held forth by the petty crooks and shysters who now control Congress.
