irrelevant side issues

Term limits are the same as campaign finance contribution limits. They both stifle free speech. What do you have against the 1st Amendment?

I don’t agree with any of what you are asserting about my beliefs.

And I don’t agree that term limits are a 1st Amendment issue. Term limits have been shown to work where they are in force and there’s been no court cases challenging them that have been successful.

If you are a lawyer, which I am sure you are not, then lay out an outline of your pleading to overturn current term limits placed on governors of states.

Then I might listen.

A successful pleading would also include a factually detailed summary citing references and statistics, summaries of citizen petitions and court filings on the subject of how existing term limits have been deleterious to citizens and their rights.

I am not persuaded by your argument that any harm comes from term limits, in fact I an convinced that term limits on US Senators would be enormously beneficial in breaking up the Washington Cartel of career politicians.

Will you stop repeating your rant? Term Limits is an acknowledgement that incumbency gives office holders insurmountable advantages against challengers.

Once you can bribe the public with tax money, it is d@mned hard to pry you out of office because the Democrat free loaders will keep voting for you.

Such parasite enablers will destroy any nation if they are not controlled somehow. "Term Limits" is a pretty tame control, if you ask me.
