They work for us ...

TRex makes the case for term limits, which I heartily endorse:

...

Stevens and Lieberman and Craig are all pretty sterling arguments for senatorial term limits if you ask me. Letting those old farts moulder in place for thirty-plus years hasn’t done them or the nation any goddamn good at all, frankly. And if we can’t get term limits, can we at least get a minimum competency test? Ugly and old is fine for a Senate position, but I think we can all agree that “senile, belligerent, and delusional” should disqualify them from higher office.

...


Like I always say, elected office is a calling, not a career. To many of 'em lose touch with those whom they are supposed to be representing, protecting big campaign contributors at the expense of their constituency. 2 terms for Senators, 6 terms for Representatives should be the rule, not a pipe dream.
