Term LimitsTwo magical words that set my political heart to flutter

Term limits seems like an unwise plan to me. I can understand the problems that come with career politicians, but term limits guarantees that the people in an important legislative function have limited experience working in the role. If we really did get someone good, we should want him to serve longer. The people in the Congressmen's and Senator's districts/states keep reelecting them

Okay, I could go for that, but the Democrats have put in too many liberal judges for that to stand, unless it was a constitutional amendment, but even then, I don't know if the Constitution would be save

Short-term candidates without at least the potential of serving long-term may result in candidates feeling less accountable for their actions. Some aspect of the government needs to have some stability. Either the system would weaken, crumble, or else some other branch of government might pick up the slack. If we had permanent congressional aids who weren't replaced, they could secretly run the whole system from behind the scenes, kind of like in the old British sitcom 'Yes Minister'
