Neat premise for a book - my only question is, "who" is going to vote these measures into law?
If we ran off everyone in congress with over 12 years of cumulative service it would be just about laid bare. The average length of service for Representatives at the beginning of the 116thCongress was 8.6years and for for Senators, it is 10.1 years
...that's the average - which means there is a metric shit ton of serving congress critters pushing the 12 year limit (hell there are 14 of them with over 36 years cumulative congress time).
Now here is some additional math to do that will give an approximation of how many members of our government are ready to legislate away the one thing that empowers their corrupt lavish lifestyles:
-divide the total number of congre$$ional hucksters with over 12 years of service into the amount that will reach 12 years of total service before they are able to use their positions in government to at least double their current Net-Worth
-subtract that number from the estimated number of congre$$ional reps that are standing by to willingly vote away their jobs as elected representatives
-multiply that by the number of $enator$ that would agree to let an opposition party state government decide their fate - multiply that number by Sommerfeld's Constant and you end up with a number that may or may not even matter
Once you have that answer - use the same equation to find the number of states that would ratify that same legislation. Keep in mind - we are asking shitty state legislators to take on more responsibility by having them carefully select $enate representation for the state.
Nobody in government wants to do "more" unless there is a payoff of some sort and you can bet your sweet ass that any $enator that isn't already in bed with the state electors will do their best to kill legislation that would put their fate in the hands of the opposition party.
12 year max for the supremes?
We have a semi-"conservative" slant right now - the current crop of "conservative" politicians aren't going to risk voting away "their" edge in the judiciary.
The left will be all over getting rid of lifetime appointments since the current lean is to the right - then once they regain control, they'll all clamor to make it a lifetime appointment again.
...or they'll try to add a few more slots that can be stacked with liberal activists like Darth Bader and Lord Solomaker
Picture ID to vote?
The republicans would need to regain full control of the House, Senate, and White House as well as a solid right leaning tilt in the Courts to force voter ID because someone will "sue" and a liberal court will judge again' it
...voter ID is race-iss
...if you even suggest voter ID - you are race-iss
These are all wonderful ideas - but the problems is not our government. The problem is our citizens.
Nancy Pelosi isnt rioting.
Citizens are rioting. It's good to blame her for instigating - but decent people cant be instigated to violence through flase narratives. Only shitty self serving degenerates can be so influenced.
People like Dingle, Thurmond, Kennedy, Rangle, Leahy, Grassley, and Byrd didn't spend 45 plus years fleecing the taxpayers by voting themselves into office over and over again.
...lazy selfish ignorant citizens kep these people in office for decades upon decades
Does anyone think the people of San Fransisco really want nancy Pelosi removed from office?
No
Her voters fucking LOVE her
The problem in America is NOT our government. It's the voters that keep hiring incompetent employees.
In November - watch how many of these ignorant blue states re-elect the idiots that have left their cities if cinders.
...and watch how they blame it on President Trump
Put another way -
Lets pretend our government is like a luxury automobile - if I buy you a brand new 2020 F-Type Jaguar and you drive it around with cheap gas, never service it, never check the oil, never wash it, never change the windshield wipers, let the back seat fill up with taco wrappers and soda cans, and then take it off road after you are done throwing back a six pack of Natty Light and a big ole' fatty...
...the condition of your car is not because Jaguar quality is lacking. Its because you suck at maintaining your automobile.
Lets treat congress like its our fucking car and the USA will start to look better the day after our next election cycle.
Congress needs maintenance but nobody wants to be the mechanic.
Congress needs a mother fucking oil change - and we cant figure out what to do with this chamber that is overflowing with contaminated oil.
Congress needs new tires but we have let the DMV pass laws that wont even let us kick the tires anymore.
We loose our fucking minds if our cars starts to make a strange noise - or the kids let a nerfball hit the bumper...
...but we cant be bothered with holding our elected officials accountable
...just my two cents - I could be wrong
