Why is it childish to point out that there would be no lack of candidates (of a caliber equal to those we now have) if we let them have but a single term and then executed them (which makes darned sure they don't return)?

Oh I don't know. Perhaps because it reminds me of 4th grade school yard debating tactics? We'll just 'kill 'em'. Real mature

You know very well that the men we have in the Senate, and the women for that matter, are the kind of folks who would trade their very souls to serve even one term.

And we have even more of that kind in the separate and sovereign states. The type person a conservative would want in office is the type person that would not seek the office. And would not want to use the powers, real or derived, for concern of taking even more liberty from the citizens of the respective states

Why do I suspect you work on some Senator's staff (or know someone who does)?

Yep, that's me. Political insider billbears. My disdain for the national government as it is currently laid out is only outweighed by my disdain for 99% of those that occupy political offices within the national government. I neither work for a Senatorial office nor know anyone that does. I wouldn't work for one of those hacks if you tripled my current salary and I wouldn't associate with anyone that was proud of doing so either
