This does too. The individual voter's rights to choose who he wants to represent him in Congress. Without undue federal restriction. Look, our founders and framers debated this for months and came to the conclusion together, to make term limits for representation very hard to get. I'm not...

Same argument the anti gun crowd uses against the 2nd amendment. Same argument creeping up lately, on the 1st amendment as well. What they DID foresee is that there are some things so vital and important they made them very hard to ever get done. Term limits is one of those. They foresaw...

The ONLY thing in this vein I would be in favor of, is modifying the 17th Amendment taking away 6 year terms for senators and making it two just like representatives have. Give the people more frequent ballot might. More chances to boot scum out. Hell, 6 years think about it - most voters don't...

Nobody said they were. But the consensus was, this right needs to be protected and they took steps to do so. Just like they did for the 1st and 2nd Amendments. There wasn't universal agreement on those either. He's never going to stop trotting out a reliable populist notion. Read his book...

It might shock you to learn that this year we have had EIGHT incumbents LOSE their renomination - their own party primary ousted them! The fucking system is working and the people ARE empowered to kick bums out if they so choose!

I thank the founders and framers every day, for having the foresight to make populist shit like this really really hard to ever accomplish. You should read in the federalist papers why our founders believed it was of paramount importance, not to have term limits for locally elected...

You would have to include in your new amendment, a repeal of the 17th Amendment. Unless of course you still want to keep 6 year terms for senators? You want to make it 4 years for representatives instead of the two they get now? It feels like I'm talking to a 12 year-old. It's not nearly as...

Not relevant. That's the executive, not the legislative branch. It's not even the same topic. Nice try at deflection though. You haven't given this any amount of thought at all. You don't know how it would be done, you don't even know the hurdles there are in getting it done. And you have no...

Then it shouldn't be any problem for you to share some details of what it would look like. For example would you repeal the 17th Amendment while you're at it?

NO specifics were offered and there's still none. My question from earlier you skipped, details of how it would look.. Nobody's really done ANY real work to sell it. It's only ever been just a useless buzzword. It's just populist crap, sounds good to people until they actually study it.

CENTURIES I tell you! LOL Nice job googling term limits for the first time. Keep reading.

I didn't say there wasn't.

I see a bunch of cons and I see results from states that did it... It doesn't do what you think it does. I'm yet to find anyone advocating it who has actually studied it or given it much actual thought.

I point out, it hasn't worked in any state it's been instituted including California, where the state assembly there continues to have all the issues you highlight, with no help in sight for the voters. Plus, I'm yet to see any specifics from anyone on how this would look on the national level...

They built in an injury waiver as part of the contract due to his chronic tendinitis in his right knee/quadriceps, in the three year, $18 million deal McCoy signed as a free agent in March. Kind of a hedge against the bet. Dallas exercised the waiver option and McCoy keeps his $3 million signing...

I was referring to what he's been doing in training camp. Blowing people away, and I felt it necessary to point out that's typical for our backend for the last several years. Tempering the enthuisiam for the new toy with the reality that, every #1 in the league does the same things to them on a...

They're representing the people of their district who elected them. It's up to those people to kick 'em out if they don't like what they do.

None of that is any of our business and none of it is required. It's also none of our business what voters in districts outside our own, do. And it's none of the federal government's business either. Smaller less intrusive government used to be a conservative value.

The PEOPLE are the term limit! They can make changes on ELECTION DAY. You don't seem to grok that. Good job ignoring all of the cons I brought up though. Once again the Constitution saves us from populist idiocy. You can't get term limits without an amendment, and amendments is hard. By...

I share that suspicion. However my point is valid, #1 receivers run right through our clueless secondary on a regular basis. It's not just Lamb.
