John McCain may never cast another vote in the U.S. Senate.
But he plans to stay in Arizona and the U.S. Senate, according to a high-level White House source, regardless of GOP-backed pressure for him to retire from the Senate.
That is a fine example of the permanent ruling class that has slowly taken over this country. Although technically elected positions, virtually all become appointments for life. And in many cases, when that Senator or Congressman dies, their seat is “inherited” by their wife or child.
It is hard for humans to break those old habits of an imperial ruling class. A lot of people are very comfortable with it.
All the more reason to term limit them out.
