      No, not crickets. Those things sound great, let’s do them. We should do everything we can, and that also includes stricter gun laws.

      Not term limits though. It may sound like a good idea, but I implore you to research issues with term limits.

        Term limits need to happen, otherwise you end up being ruled by politicians who are in a perpetual cycle of trying to stay in office.

          Term limits will seal the deal to the end of our Democracy.

          Either you’re arguing in bad faith, and know this, or you’re refusing to inform yourself of the downsides.

            So you’re ok with SCOTUS and other judges being appointed and no term limits? What about the POTUS, are you saying it’s ok if Trump won and kept being president as long as he continues to win?

            Please tell me the good sides of having no term limits. Laws shouldn’t be straped to a single person.

              Buddy, I’m not going to do all the work for you. This is a well researched subject with a ton of information, it’s not some brand new idea.

              I was mainly referring to elected positions, I’m not necessarily against term limits for Supreme Court Justices.

              Edit: See my reply to the knob below for a few sources.
