And that should be our message it's just an extension of what the R legislators did in Michigan and Wisconsin on the way out the door.

We need to fight this fucker with every tool we have in our tol box, and we may have to invent some to get there.

House of Representatives = 2 year terms
President/Vice President = 4 year terms
U.S. Senators = 6 year terms
Justices of the Supreme Court = lifetime appointment

Does that seem balanced to you?

Before that each state legislature chose the US Senators. It took 125 yrs to get that amendment.

I would not really expect the Constitution to be amended anytime soon
(And yeah ,Fat Tony Scalia died at 79, with many health problems that were released with his death cause reports. He should have self chosen to resign as he was aware.of many of them.)


Would you, personally, have a retirement age or a # of terms?
