Speaking on the subject of lawyers, and not on Obama... (the content
of that email being virtually impossible to prove or disprove)

 I'm of the opinion that all the lawyers on Capitol Hill are a huge
part of our problem.  I'd much rather have a congress and oval office
full of average joes with some common sense and basic intelligence
than the band of lawyers turned career politicians that dominate it
these days.  Let the supreme court deal with the lawyering.  What we
need are people making the laws that understand what the country needs
and what the intent of the constitution, not people who dissect the
'interstate commerce' clause to the point where mean the Feds can
create laws about everything imaginable.

Establish term limits for the Senate at minimum. George Mason "nothing
is so essential to the preservation of a Republican government as a
periodic rotation." If not that, bring back State elected Senators.
That would at least remove one body of them from the influence of
popular vote (the mob).  Cap their salary at the mean of the middle
class, and forget about full pay and benefits for the rest of their
lives.  "Serving" our country in a political capacity should be just
that... a service.  It should not carry these plush rewards.  If we
could do these things, we'd virtually eliminate career politicians and
a lot of corruption.

Just my thoughts.

 I'm with you Josh.  Here's my solution but would take Consti Amend and it
 would never pass.  Can't vote till 35 yrs old.  One 6 year staggered term
 limit for Senators.  One 4 year term limit for Congressmen staggered
 (unless you only have one Congressman like Wyo) .  If the can get
 reelected, (ie two term limits), you still have the same problem--actions
 determined by reelection campaigns even if only once.  Have to take and
 pass test on government organization and brief test on NON-KEYNESIAN
 economics in order to vote (you could still vote Voodoo econ if you choose.
 But, have to understand REAL ECON).  We don't need more idiots running the
 show. Finally, some foolproof voter id (fingerprints??  Big Brother has all
 of ours by now anyway for one reason or another) that is only given when
 you meet all above requirements.  This will cut down on voter fraud.

 All that should be easy to get passed, right:-)

 Have to get to work.  Can't participate in this discussion further.  Wish I
 could.

Josh,

Such an amendment is being discussed as a go-forward Item by non other
than Mark Levin and his Landmark Legal Foundation...

He mentioned this on his show a few weeks back.

>From memory and I may not have it all this is what it would entail and
it would be all encompassing, I hope I have this as accurate as possible....

* 2 6 year terms for Senators ( term Limits)
* 6 2 year terms for the House (term Limits again)
* Term Limits FOR THE SUPREME COURT !
* 2/3rd's needed for tax increases ( and the budget's balance maybe tied
to GDP )
* Repeal the 17th Amendment and send the Senatorial Selection Process
back to the State Houses.

My best,
Anthony
