Replying to a message of Jeff Binkley to All:

So am I.  And term limits be d*mned, the senators are supposed to represent
the *states,* not the people in them, and that hasn't been the case since that
amendment was passed.

Senators ought to support it, too.  It'd be a lot cheaper for them, they'd only have
to buy half of each state's legislature instead of half of the voters.
