minus-square@pyrelink7•6 months agono, but they can surely end it sometime. a president can be corrupt but they have to fuck off after 8 years max. alito can say fuck democracy, blame his wife for it and live the rest of his life doing his best to ruin yours.

minus-square@Serinuslink0•6 months agoTerm limits go both ways. They can introduce or reduce corruption. In general I think they add corruption, even if they wouldn’t right this moment. I’d rather pack the court or find another solution to fix corruption in the current court.
Term limits absolutely don’t prevent corruption.
no, but they can surely end it sometime. a president can be corrupt but they have to fuck off after 8 years max. alito can say fuck democracy, blame his wife for it and live the rest of his life doing his best to ruin yours.
