Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire SCOTUS term-limit bill...

Nor did she think much of the Constitution.. Picking and choosing which parts she wanted to uphold and which parts she wanted to legislate over From the Bench.

Age limits/term limits for SCOTUS and congress, need to get rid of them before senility impairs their ability to think clearly. Although there are examples of both genders who have overstayed their ability to think clearly, the females seem to become real dingbats once they get past retirement age.

Not going to happen without a Constitutional Amendment.

females become dingbats.... LOL park your ass you dinosaur

Unlike Trump I don't recall Ginsberg suffering a series of mini strokes and slurring her words

Nancy has always struck me as the chief arsonist in charge.

I want a new house...

How can I burn my old house down and not get caught?

Now that I have burnt my house down without being caught how much will insurance pay me to build a new one?

Fight with the insurance for twice that money.

Shaft the contractor that is actually rebuilding my house and pocket 50% of the money to upgrade all of my contents.

Complain that I am the victim of someone else's malfeasance.

Term limits for Congress!

That's the best you can come up with to defend the geriatric washed out dolt that your party chose? He is the only one that wouldn't have ended up in jail......yet.

Every government employee position should have term limits, right down to the custodians of the schools. Particularly the politicians to a man/woman.

The only way that can happen is a constitutional convention. It takes a 2/3 vote of both houses to pass an amendment and there's no way they'd vote to limit themselves.

A constitutional convention is way overdue. There is a very good reason that provision and possibility exist. The only ones who fear it’s happening are the Kings and Queens who have feathered their own nests at the upper ends of the political spectrum.
It should be mandatory every 20 years or so.

No one I ever talked to would argue against a constitutional amendment for term limits.,

I've always been against congressional term limits as it takes away ballot box choice. However, the way congress has gone the last 20 years, I don't see any other way to clean out that snake pit.

Part (1)

Then it must be ratified by 3/4 of the states.

But I don’t think term limits for members of Congress requires a Constitutional Amendment.

SC yes, Congress not sure.

Term limits won't fix anything. The problem lies in the unelected alphabet agencies.

8 years total for the house and the senate. No where in America can you fail at your job for this long and still be employed.

Problem with term limits is that you can have wild swings in power both ways.

If term limits were in place in 2008, Obama might have had 65 Senators and a 100 seat advantage in the House with all of the anti Bush sentiment.

The constitution specifies the terms of both houses but it doesn't specify a limit on how many terms they can serve. A precedent was established when the president was limited to 2 terms by an amendment. It will take another one to limit congress.

when all we've got to choose from is a bunch of humans and many of them possessing strange ideas there's no one good answer.

one can construct a scenario to suit one's position, but in 50 years there's no tellin' what our descendents will be facing.

btw just got back from drivers services to have my license re newed. i can stand flat footed and say there's diversity about.

a long line that snaked around the outside of the bldg. everybody in social distance. thank god it wasn't raining.

I understand, and maybe there should be longer than 8 years. I can say this though, the founders never intended for our reps to be lifelong appointments.

Something along the lines of how major airlines evaluate their pilots as being fit for duty. Their responsibility levels are fairly high in a comparable regard.

Not sure if that answered your question or not.
