“Power is incestuous; power leads to arrogance, and that arrogance leads to terrible judgment,” the former senator declared. “I saw it all the time. And so the object becomes, ‘How do I stay here?’ rather than, ‘How do I do what’s in the best interest of our country?'”

We need term limits for every politician including judges. We can only get there with an amendment to the Constitution

It would be great to see all elected positions serve only one term, then we might see work get done instead of spending the first term, campaigning for the second!

Yes. Twelve states to date. Nine have the appropriate bill passed in one chamber. And 19 states have the proposed bill in committee.
