JOE

...and not just Joe Biden either.

But others as well.

They include Diane Feinstein & Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

That party in particular, needs a mechanism to give these old codgers the boot when it's abundantly clear they are no longer viable nor able to carry out their duties as elected officials or appointees.

I noticed that Democrats like to blame Trump and the Republicans for the ascendancy of a Right Wing Supreme Court. But most if not all of that was their own fault, as they should have pressured Ginsburg to step down, particularly after she had received numerous cancer diagnoses. They could have replaced her in Obama's first term when they held the Presidency & Congress.

Truth be known, someone like former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper at 65 would be considered a 'young man' if he was allowed to run for the President of the United States today. A younger whipper snapper compared to Trump or Biden. At least Canada generally doesn't have anyone over 70 running for or holding high office.

High Office ought not to be a retirement home for anybody. When their time's up it should be up.
