...Meanwhile, term limits just turn more elected officials more rapidly into more lobbyists.

And term limits accidentally, massively over-empower residual Hill staffers – who aren’t elected and aren’t term limited.

All of which is demonstrably worse than what we have now.

To solve the problems – we must address the actual problems. Ending term limits doesn’t do that.

In the House – that means ending gerrymandering. For the Senate – we must repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.

That's like saying people using seatbelts can still die, so lets just get rid of seatbelts. What is it with needing to find a super polished solution that works in all cases. Did redstate turn into another kike site or something?

That's not at all what the article says. It gives two methods to use that are more likely to pass than a Term Limit amendment; both of which can be implemented much faster.
