So somebody could serve 18 years in congress under DeMint's plan and then spend the next 20 selling all the influence they've gained from those years. Yeah, they wouldn't be literally voting anymore, but their proxies would do the same thing. Eh, and seriously, fuck Jim DeMint; I wouldn't care if that bastard turned around tomorrow and came out pro-choice and anti-card check, I could never support that worthless cunt.
