I'm not sure how I feel about Congressional term limits. At first the idea is immensely appealing: get rid of entrenched politicians who seem most liable to corruption and influence peddling. But can't we do that via the election process? The counterargument seems to be that some people are really good at representing our interests and we should be able to keep them if we want them.
And the hilarity is how Jim DeMint is the principal sponsor of the bill, limiting House Reps to 3 terms (6 years) and Senators to 2 terms (12 years).
...DeMint served in the House from 1999 - 2005 and he's been in the Senate ever since. Think he should step down if he really believed in his own "ideals"? Want to bet whether he will?
