An excellent example of the need for term limits on ALL elected officials, at ALL levels of government.
The Senate leadership can simply create Senate posts out of whole cloth? Ridiculous. If the man can’t handle the position, his constituents should vote him out of office, or he should be recalled by process prescribed in law and statute.
I agree, it is time to bring up term limits again. Such things may be the only way to get back some control if all is lost. Term limits could be equated with the CEOs who get golden parachutes in that these politicians amass tons of power over time...they have more “power” than they “need” and it is time that we “redistribute” the power. It is only “fair”.
To defeat bad ideas we need to use their own favorite words and paradigms against them and make analogies wherever we possibly can.
