[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3071959, member: 7900"] Sadly, it is more than just the "old guard" that opposes term limits. In 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in a 5-4 vote that Congress and the states could not impose stricter term limits on U.S. congressional members than what the Constitution stipulates. Thus, there would either have to be a constitutional amendment or a SCOTUS that was friendlier to the idea of term limits.
