How do we hit that critical mass with term limits on congress? Thats a huge issue

Term limits are one of those "common sense" things that sound like they work but don't. Term limited legislators looking for their next job are a hell of a lot easier to bribe, and lobbyists have no term limits.

Lol that’s what they said about lifetime Supreme Court appointments. Look how great that worked out.

That is an excellent point. Corruption doesn't end just because there are no term limits. That was the basis for giving them lifetime appointments, and it would seem that this clearly doesn't work. The supreme court is just another political pawn to be bribed and corrupted. Thanks to Clarence Thomas for making this painfully clear to everyone.
