Incumbent protection is what drives legislation now. Hence the gerrymandered House districts. Hence the Supreme Court decision against term limits. Hence this 60-day limit and the court decision upholding it.

We're being ruled by a two-party oligarchy of career politicians whose supreme goal is protecting their own careers. If a piece of legislation that favors that end violates the Constitution, hey, who cares?

Read Dr. Tom Coburn's book, Breach of Trust: How Washington Turns Outsiders Into Insiders.

That's true. The politicians now have power even King George III only dreamed of when our country was a part of Great Britain as its 13 colonies.
