I wonder if Madison would support term limits if he knew how large the federal government had become and with the passage of the 21st amendment that weakened the Republic and flew in the face of federalism?

Actually, he would point to the "Selective Incorporation" doctrine of the 14th Amendment and the 16th and 17th Amendments for the growth of the Federal government, blaming the people for letting the Republic go down the drain.

True, but now you are bringing int the courts, if you do not want me to get started on Robert Byrd, don’t get even me started on the Judiciary.
