Is Another Veteran Senator in Danger from the Tea Party? (Roberts' vanity Virginia license plate)

Milton Wolf, the tea-party Republican challenging Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas in the state’s May primary, is getting some media coverage beyond the elevator pitch that he’s an anti-Obamacare doctor who happens to be Barack Obama’s second cousin on his mother’s side.

Recently, someone from Wolf’s campaign snapped a photo of Roberts’ private vehicle, which bears the vanity plate ”PR-USS.” That stands for “Pat Roberts, U.S. Senator” and is of little note. But what is galling some Kansans is that the license plate was from Virginia. Wolf says it’s almost as if Roberts is saying he’s the Old Dominion’s third senator.

It’s common for members of Congress to live near Washington, D.C., but Roberts has gone further than most in putting down roots there. In his last reelection, he filed for the ballot using the address of his rental property in Dodge City, Kan., which was occupied by someone else, and he had a Kansas absentee ballot mailed to his home in Virginia.

Is it time for Roberts to start worrying he has Lugaritis?

Mark Levin endorsed Wolf yesterday. He said that Kansas is entitled to two Senators and that Virginia doesn’t need three.

Sending members of Congress off to Washington, D.C. is an outdated practice that should be stopped. Using the technology that exists today members could remain in their home states and districts and still conduct their meetings, hearings, floor debates and votes. Members of Congress would actually live, work and play with their constituents. I don’t expect this scenario to ever play out but it would solve a lot of problems associated with the disconnect that occurs when members go to D.C.

According to Wiki, the 19 longest serving senators (all over 36 years) were elected to the senate after the 17th Amendment.

These guys get way too comfortable in Washington... time to repeal the 17th amendment and bring in Term Limits
