Grassley Shows His Colors.

Chuck Grassley, who allowed Dianne Feinstain's attempt to destroy Justice Kavanaugh, while allegedly chairing the Senate Judiciary committee, on which Feinstain has perched for decades, is now suddenly upset that President Trump has a never-before-used right to hire and fire as a President of the United States! Grassley, who has been in the Senate since the previous century, is a clear indication that the Republican Party will ALWAYS have its share of Republican'ts. We NEED a Third Party, one that will pay attention to the Constitution, and that will put the needs of America over those of, say, Ukraine.
 I do NOT believe that, even if voting were to return properly to taxpayers, who have a vested interest in  the country, voters' choices should be limited by term limits on Congresspeople, because there is a simple way around them, which is to run a spouse for the position once the original Officeholder has been term limited. The best way I can see to limit these seemingly lifetime appointments without hamstringing the voters, is to limit their power once elected. Every Senator and every Representative gets exactly the same vote and no one is guaranteed a leadership position or a Committee chair simply based upon longevity. If the voter who is given the option of Grassley or anyone else, and Grassley were to have the same amount of power as, say, Josh Hawley, the voter might consider a fresh alternative. At the same time, with no guarantee of being able to turn Power into money, the likes of Grassley might just opt for a real job.
