    Nothing new here. Simple question, is SCOTUS term limits and ethics code in the constitution? No! Only way is a constitutional amendment. That is why even congress cannot pass term limits on themselves, it is not in the constitution. In this political environment NO constitutional amendments are passing.


    Yep. Nothing new and almost all of it would require a constitutional amendment.

    This is not an actual plan. It's more like Bill Clinton's promise of middle class tax cuts- days after his inauguration: "I've worked harder on this than I ever have on anything...." just couldn't make it work.

    It's a campaign ploy to try to get leftists who are so uninspired by Biden to come to the polls...but Biden would never introduce the amendment or any significant legislation.

    How about some laws about accepting bribes? That would be great.

    The issue is, to do such a thing you need a deeper understanding of the law than most lawyers and lawmakers. Because if you just ham-fistedly try to do such a thing, you get super PACs, and the definition of bribery just gets shifted.

    This is why all the arguments about "Just tax the rich!" are so braindead to anyone who understands the system. If it were so simple of a problem to solve, it absolutely would have been solved.

    But we lack competency in legal and political understanding as a nation, so we're going to continue down the road to idiocracy until people make an actual attempt to do better.

    Rush Limbaugh talked about the "Dumbing down of America" back in the early 1990's I believe.
    It was one of the arguments I heard him talk about when I first found him on the radio, and I was hooked.


    Miss you Rush

    Unfortunately, too many members of congress also do not care about the constitutionaliy of the laws they pass. They will pass laws knowing full well that once challenged some of the federal courts will shoot them down while others uphold them. It will be years before SCOTUS hears them, and by that time a lot of damage has already been done.

    The only thing most people in congress care about at any given time is "what can I do to get reelected.". The same as a first term President.
