Term limits result in an uninformed legislature. Most of these issues take years to gain some expertise in order to understand the vocabulary and programs involved. I want someone who has been through more than a few briefings and hearings on a topic to be making decisions about what goes into a bill.
Term limits ends up with uninformed decisions or the legislator being told by lobbyists or his/her staff how to vote on issues. Un-elected “handlers” would acquire more and more power as the bureaucrats.
We have seen it in the State legislature.
Most of them are a bunch of drooling idiots anyway, I don't see how it matters. Just pick random names out of the phone book.
I would tend to disagree. We’re still talking years of service here not months and I don’t think it would take much for the average reader/poster here on this site long to come to a decision whether a bill is for the good of the people or not.

Sorry but if you think the dolts in Congress are in any measure "informed" on what they are voting on you are as sadly mistaken. They vote the way their lobbyist's tell them.
Term Limits now and forever!
