The recent filibuster by Rand Paul is clear evidence that our Congress is obsessed with getting elected and a possible future  upwardly mobile role in politics. The current seat fillers (Scamocrats and Dupublicans) are of one mind and that is not doing the work they were elected to do. The single purpose is to stay in office long enough to get a good pension, win friends and influence for their” post  Congressional” life. The Congress will never create a term limit situation because they can get by with little or nor effort beyond following party lines and occasionally making a ripple. The only term limits that apply are those applied in the voting booth by the voters. This last failed filibuster had nothing to do with the issue but just another way to get his name in the press. This is the way Congress works, yell about any and everything then do nothing. Our economy is in tatters but  we are still fighting the same fight over and over again. If an opportunity to go to war comes along the Congress will be all over that before the ink is dry but when it comes to doing the right thing for the American people without a war that is quite different. The Congress appears to be making war on the American People. Do we all need to arm ourselves against the Legislature?
