Gunny G@PlanetWTF?

I hope he doesn’t hold his breath waiting for the Senators to vote themselves out of power.
He wants to give us real democracy... good and hard (to paraphrase HL Mencken). All government reps would be proportional to population. Tyranny of the cities and political machines over the countryside.
“Dingy” hasn’t been right in the head for a long time. Same with his wife.
IOW I hate small states and non urban areas
Didn't we already do that with the 17th Amendment?
John Dingell your 59 years in Washington DC makes anything you say WORTHLESS.
The REAL PROBLEM is slimy politicians who stay too long like YOU.
Let’s compromise. Let’s abolish half the Senate. Start with California.
I believe that is the best evidence ever offered by the press as the congress working exactly as the Founders intended. Slow and deliberate......
If someone wants to get into a fixing-type situation, I wouldn’t have a problem with:
1. Mandating Congress and the Senate only meet for two periods of 90 days in the year.
2. Limiting each Supreme Court Justice to 8-to-10 year terms.
3. Limiting each House/Senate member to a max of 12-years of DC service.
4. Requiring tax returns of all House and Senate members to be public information a year after they are filed.
5. Eliminating the Senate from any budget acts.
6. Mandating no overseas travel for Congressman or Senators unless attending funerals.
7. Requiring anyone representing a state...to only rent while serving in DC.
8. Budgets will be passed by 1 July each year, or you shut down the government entirely with no fake extensions or four-week negotiation periods.
The Longest-Serving Congressman In History Wants To Abolish The Senate.
Still the same LOON he was for so many years in congress. Pathetic moron yet.
Sure, we’ll get right on that. We don’t need no stinkin’ checks and balances.
How about we abolish old dingbats who have made a fortune from being congressmen?
Yet another dumba$$ lib that either cannot read and has no interest in learning the historical reasons behind the constitution, has an IQ lower than my dog or just plain wants to change the rules to put the dems in power forever.
What a F###ing moron!
All they have to do is take out Texas and “they win”.
The left always wants mob rule because they are so good at mobs.
Especially that pesky Thirteenth Amendment! Hey, Dingell, you wanna push for that?
Idiot.
OC: “It’s not like we can’t spare one of the three chambers of Congress... so what, we’ll still have two of them”
These leftist lunatics want a pure democracy controlled by each coast and every liberal enclave. Everyone else will simply be disenfranchised.
The senate was originally designed to represent state legislatures.
