Term limits

President Biden has proposed term limit of 18 years for Supreme Court justices. This may be a fair request seeing that our presidents are limited to two four-year terms. In further review we should require all national legislators and appointed federal judges to have term limits.

Based on our presidents’ eight year term limit I suggest our US senators be limited to three six-year terms, our US House representatives limited to five two-year terms, all federal judges limited to 12-year terms. State and local officials can be limited by new state constitutional amendments.

I do not believe our founding fathers had the concept of unrestrictive tenure of 30 or 40 years of serving in our Congressional legislative bodies.

By term limits we can bring into our debates new faces with recommendations and solutions for many of our current concerns

Now is the time for change.

Congress

So President Joe Biden wants to place term limits on the Supreme Court.  If he thinks that term limits are such a good idea he should start with Congress.  If Congress had term limits 50 years ago, then the country would not have suffered years of Biden’s incompetence and bad policies.  The Supreme Court is doing just fine and doesn’t need Joe’s proposals to mess things up which is his usual modus operandi.

Kamala Harris

Rich Lowry did not pull any punches when he described Kamala Harris’ record on illegal immigration.  Why should he?  Kamala failed our country as border czar.  This is only one reason why Kamala is unfit for duty.  She wanted to defund the police.  Don’t fall for the mainstream media that is trying to change the facts about Kamala Harris.  When she ran for president in 2020, she dropped out of the race early because Democrats didn’t like her.  Now, Democrats say she is the perfect choice.  Nothing has changed except that her failures have been exposed and her dishonesty is alive and well.

MAGA policy

Forget Trump and Harris and concentrate on policy differences. MAGA philosophy is different from Democratic Party thought. One definition of freedom is autonomy of choice and MAGA far surpasses the state control or coercion that so much Democratic policy, especially that of the Harris-Sanders-Squad cadre, features. For instance, MAGA believes that the marketplace for automobiles should include all types of vehicles, not just EVs; sources of energy should include fossil fuels as well as the woke variety; regulated gun sales should include semi-automatic rifles; gas stoves should not be illegal; public education should include school choice; the workplace should include nonunion shops.

MAGA is a subjective path, one that opposes the mechanical, cookie cutter way of state control, for example the imposition of Medicare for All rather than choice in the delivery of healthcare. In essence, Democratic thought begins with the belief that the individual cannot be trusted to do the right thing, but the state can and must.
