re: #82 newsjunkie_ky

When senators or justices get so old or so ill that they can not do the job, but staffers must do it, they need to leave the office.

This is true and I would argue for that in a non-partisan sense as well (regardless of today’s news about Kennedy and Byrd).

Term Limits were a big rage a few years back. It’s too bad that idea lost steam, IMO. We should not have Senators who serve into their 90s.
