If these people could see past the end of their noses, they'd realize this scheme, if enacted, could go against them at some future date.

As Alan Dershowitz pointed out, this nonsense about term limits is being thrown about by Biden and his cronies for votes this November. The manner in which Supreme Court justices leave the court is enshrined in the Constitution; resign, retire, or die. Therefore, a Constitutional amendment would be required in order to implement term limits in the SCOTUS, which is an intensive, drawn-out process. It's not going to happen at all, much less, before the election. It's merely anther tantrum from leftists. They didn't get their way, so we get to listen to this nonsense.


And its part of the politics of the election where they are implying that a vote for DJT is a vote for more conservatives on the court for a long time as potentially he'll get to replace someone or more than one.

While I agree with Dershowitz that this is a bid for votes, it seems to me that it's going to be ineffective. Anyone who wants to impose term limits on the court is angry about the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the presidential immunity decision and the like, and is therefore already voting against Trump (as opposed to voting for a viable candidate, which the Dems do not have at this time.)


No doubt about that, those angry white female suburban moms have already made up their mind.

They always fail to see this - see judicial filibuster and SCOTUS filibuster.

I think this is because they honestly believe that once they get control, they will never lose it. How many times have they predicted the "blue wave" and increasing diversity of the population keeping them in power indefinitely.

Here are the “term limits” I’d like to see (negotiable):

Supreme Court: 10 years, max
Senate: 2 6-year term, max
House of Rep: 4 2-year term, max
Civil office/bureaucrat: combo of age + years of service = 55 years
AGE LIMIT: not to exceed 68 yoa upon completion of last term of office

I'm not into age limits. I would happily go along with an annual cognitive test after a certain age. My father is currently 96 years old, and he's still cognitively excellent.



Of all the enemies that the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst.

There’s an age minimum for a reason, and it’s that the overwhelming majority of individuals aren’t capable of office before then.

And age limit serves the same purpose, there will always be exceptions but that isn’t the point.

He got on that empty plane and raided the galley, eating all the in-flight snacks.

Why did Biden go onto the plane after the prisoners got off?


1. To show he could climb stairs

2. To sniff seats

It was an official function. He saw a plane. He saw stairs. It's what you do when you're POTUS. Still, he almost didn't make it on the way up.

The guy doesn't even know where he is...or where he's going. I can just see a guy inside telling him he's on the wrong plane.

It was rather sad to watch, but even sadder was watching Chlamydia and the others looking at him and pretending that they knew what he was doing (and that he knew what he was doing). They really do think we're that stupid.

BIDEN SUCKS.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

ALL versions of being in a NON-elected position, regardless of GS-, SEO-, military-rank/rating, etc; to include cumulative ALL time drawing a Govt paycheck to include local and State.

We do not need a PERMANENT BUREAUCRATIC OLIGARCHICAL CLASS of citizens. Go back to the ORIGINAL CONSTITUTIONAL concept of citizenship—limited time of service to country and then retire back to the metaphorical “plow” of PRIVATE enterprise. The Cincinnatus concept of civic virtue.

I despise Brandon, but it looks like, based on the reaction of the photographers, that he went up to the cockpit to glad hand with the pilots.

IF so, that was actually a nice gesture and most of us would have lauded President Trump for doing something like that.

It is possible anyway. Plenty of other reasons to question his mental acuity.
