But also, "who's running the Senate?", or, more to the point, who's running the offices of the mentally damaged senators, Fetterman and Feinstein?
“For many doing business with Mr. Fetterman’s office, the senator’s health is irrelevant,” the paper concludes.
That’s probably true, but it may be a slight issue for Pennsylvanians who are being represented by a bunch of D.C. staffers they never voted for: some of whom may have never even set foot in the state. What exactly is the difference between a representative government and an authoritarian bureaucracy when it hardly matters whether the legislators are alive or dead?
That's why term limits won't solve anything, the folks running for office are smooth talking idiots anyway.
ReplyDeleteAs Pournelle wrote, at the end of the 20th century, the traits necessary to run for office are not those needed to perform the duties of the office.
The solution is the Constitution. Too bad we don't use that anymore.
What is this "Constitution" of which you speak?
ReplyDeleteAs to the observation concerning the different traits required to run for office and to perform the duties of office, truer words, etc.
Biden, Trump, Fetterman and Feinstein, in their own ways exposed the fact that the system runs on its own and requires little to no input from elected officials.
