I like the part-time Congress - that is how it was supposed to be. I’d like to get back to state legislators electing Senators to represent the state’s interests.
Yes.
Perry's position is that the founding fathers were absolutely WRONG when they decided U.S. judges could be appointed for life by politicians without the people's consent, and we MUST to amend the Constitution to change this.
However, he says the founding fathers were absolutely RIGHT when they decided U.S. Senators could be appointed for life by politicians without the people's consent, and we should have NEVER amended the Constitution to change that.
I haven't seen any platform this schizo since Cal Skinner ran for Illinois Governor in 2002 on the Libertarian Party ticket. His message was that voters should choose him over the other two candidates because of his "12 terms in office and two decades of experience in the state legislature" -- but all our problems in the state were caused by "professional state legislators" and his first act as Governor would be "term limit" them to "3 terms or less".
