On that I could not agree more. Term limitations is a must for all elected offices, new blood prevents the same old crap from continuing.

Second, get the attorneys in this nation out of the law writing business. They only write them for themselves anyway. they create them, they argue them, they judge them. Isn’t that what momopoly laws are designed to prevent, a single industry from becoming too powerful and controlling?

BTW we may have a justice dept, but it’s by name only. They replaced it with a legal system!

The Constitutional separation of government powers has worked as the Founders intended, preventing the emergence of a single all powerful individual ruler. By not insuring turn over of personnel in the other positions of power, however, they left the door open for the development of personal fiefdoms that reward the status quo and relegate public service to a secondary goal. </p> I agree and the only remedy I believe has any potential to improve the situation would be to impose term limits on both the legislature and judiciary.
