Just another reason for the taxpayers of USA to demand a serious discussion about Term Limits, and get the makeup of the Congress to reflect what the Founding Fathers intended it to be. Just a few names come to name: Kennedy, D-MA, Stevens,R-AK, Inouye, D-HI, Byrd, D-WV and on and on. However, the constituents so worried abou the “Pork” these “Gentlemen” bring home, while enriching themselves, I don’t ee it happening in my lifetime.

They could arrest 90% of the senators for corruption. It is the most do nothing group in the world.
If they are not millionaires before getting elected they soon are!

The only term limit that is constitutional is the one set in the voting booth.

Constituents are just as culpable keeping the cronies in office. They overlook the corruption to relish in the bounties brought home — such as the bridge to nowhere.

Members of congress are held to a higher standard. They are supposed to avoid even the APPEARANCE of impropriety or wrong doing.

That is the whole problem. There need to be term limits. Corruption is bound to happen when people like this hold power for too long. They always start thinking that said power is their right instead of their responsibility.

They forget that they work for the people instead of the other way around.

That ispart of the problem. The senate is not “a club” for rich assholes who think they own the US.

Indict his ass and let everything come out.

I would have to agree with Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) regarding this issue.

Until there is a conviction (or something of that nature) I see no reason to rush to judgment.
