    Which bases were closed when they shouldn't have been and vice versa??

    The question of the thread is in the title.

Moreover it would in essence permanently give the Democrats more two senators and mutiple representatives. If its...

    Term limits for the Judical Branch

    So what so you think of the idea of term limits for the courts in the United States. Personally I think that no postion with as much power as a senate approved federal judge should be allowed to stay in their position for more than the equivalent of two Senate terms ie 12 years and no more than...
