But this Abramoff thing and the confirmation goings-on with the Bush judicial appointees (not just Alito, but Roberts and the filibuster business as well) have me leaning very much toward term limits as at a partial solution to some of this stuff.
I confess I still haven't thought about it enough to form an opinion. What do you think?

Gandhi>Bush said:I completely agree with shorter terms of office for politicians. The problem is: Do you really think congress would pass such a bill?
