Maybe the answer is change the length of the term?

I've always felt similar... I have a little more respect for senators...

I think they all should have term limits... it amazes me that we have politicians in their 80s who have been in DC for 40+ years... and somehow they keep convincing people that they need to be re-elected to fix all the crap that they haven't been able to fix or screwed up in the first place...

I don't see doing that. As I said, continuity is a good thing. That is what the Senate provides. I just don't have a problem limiting terms once someone has been around for 24 years.

Patrick Leahy has been in the Senate for 45 years. I only picked his name because he is top on the seniority list.

In a closer look at the list, only 7 people have been in office over 25 years, though there are a bunch headed towards that number.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

That was friggin ridiculous... I personally am not sure if the 300 mail in votes should count if they don't have the dates on them (that they are required to based on PA rules). However, they took it to the PA supreme court (as they should) and the supreme court said they should count... that should be the end of it...

it's the same crap with the objections on the 6th in congress... those objections should be handled at the state level... not in congress...
