This is all a result of the unconstitutional way that congresscritters run congress.

Every citizen is supposed to have equal representation. However, the system of committees with their chairmen make some congresscritters more equal than others.

This causes otherwise sane people to keep returning doddering fools to congress because the longer they're there, the more seniority they have. Thus the more ability to drain the fed coffers and send the ill-gotten booty back to their districts.

Congressional seniority needs to end. If it does then term limits will become a naturally occurring event.

She was a microbiologist?

I guess you have to be one in order to find a typical liberal brain.

It’s the opposite end of the state from NYC, on Lake Ontario.

Since she was the oldest, it lowered the average age of both dems and all members of congress.

I spent some time looking for a list of current congressmen/woman by age or birth date. No such list seems to exist on the internet.

Not by much. Most of the Democrat congresscritters are in their 60s and 70s.

This brain dead nitwit kicks the bucket, and not a mention on Drudge Report.

Really sums up here tenure in Congress quite succinctly.

Not to mention microbiology like medicine is changing all the time. If you are not keeping up to date by reading the latest journals or doing research you will soon fall far behind.

It’s one less of the 40 House Democrat hypocrites who voted against clear obstruction charges for Rapin Bill - but who will vote in an instant for phony obstruction charges against President Trump...

Oh, I almost forgot.

May she burn in hell for her lying "against" votes during Rapin Bill's impeachment.   smiling face

Not a moment too soon. Democrats are domestic enemies bent on conquering and destroying every last vestige of the USA I grew up in and replacing it with a socialist police state like the former DDR or Pol Pots Cambodia
