Congress “is held in such disrepute” because both parties “have refused to listen to the people,” Cruz said, arguing that Americans oppose the healthcare law. “We need to make D.C. listen.”
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun safety legislation, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) sharply admonished Cruz for what she viewed as his lecturing tone in a question about the 2nd Amendment. “Senator, I’ve been on this committee for 20 years,” she said.

Amen to that. I once held the belief that term limits were not good because if you had a very good office holder, you would lose them. Now I see that it would ne worth losing a good person to be rid of the thousands of reprobates holding office well past the use by dates.

20 years should have been enough to flip open and read the constitution once.
She, and too many others, think the Constitution (don’t be afraid to capitalize it, and put a U.S. in front of it) is just a “suggestion box”.
It’s more like guidelines really.

There should be not term limit at GITMO for most of these crooks.
I used to favor term limits but I don’t anymore. In California they have been a disaster. What ends up happening is that a large number of boards, bureaus, and commissions get formed. Term-limited politicians are then appointed to these bureaucracies where they are delegated to rule over certain areas via regulation that carries the force of law but they are not elected to the position and can not be turned out by the people. As are result, term-limited politicians end up creating regulator fiefdoms that they rule over for life because these regulatory agencies, boards, commissions and bureaus have no term limits. In other words, term limits have made the problem in California even worse.
Another problem with term limits is that politicians are no longer worried about passing legislation today that they know will blow up 10 years down the road because they know they will no longer be there to be held accountable. When the issue explodes due to some unsustainable decision, they will be long gone and forgotten and the people currently holding office at the time will be left holding the bag. Term limits are not a good idea. They make things worse. What we need is an engaged and informed public who hold their elected representatives accountable.
The entrenched bureaucracy is also a big problem. Behind the scenes they wield enormous power in Congress and the federal agencies.
