Wrong it's age discrimination to say the Emperor of Mankind can't serve as a senator from the Golden Throne of Terra just because he's technically dead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly I'm just an ageist and not worried at all about people holding on to their positions of power for as long as humanly possible. Because that isn't constantly happening or anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Gavin Newsom picks Laphonza Butler as Dianne Feinstein replacement - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM California’s governor chose a labor leader turned power player to serve in the Senate, and an adviser told POLITICO there were no preconditions about whether she could run in 2024. Quote California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, elevating the head of a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, according to a person familiar with the decision.

TwinIon Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Here's the Post article about her background. She's the president of Emily's List, an NPO that works to elect pro-choice candidates. She's worked in the labor movement for two decades, serving as president of CA's biggest union and has long been a political consultant at a major firm. Seems like a pretty good pick. She hasn't been in office before, but she's no political novice. As head of Emily's List, she's a strong voice on abortion rights, which is pretty timely. She won't be running for Feinstein's seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 There's all kinds of stuff that could be done. Even if you don't have absolute term limits, you could have consecutive term limits for senators, for example (say, no more than 2 consecutive terms without having to vacate your seat) ... or, y' know, absolute term limits that keep people from being in power for 50 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
