I see there's a job opening in your state.
Interested?

That's gonna make politics *real* interesting here in the next year and a half. A large line-up of wannabe replacements.

It was time to pass the torch 10 years ago. Term limits now!

Durbin had a chance to support the https://innocenceproject.org &
https://Fatherhood.org as well as other legal issues even at the Fed level.
Instead SenCornyn came up w/a half attempt at interstate rules for child support&time which is not available to couples in conflict.Seriously? Complete&utter nonsense. Apes

It is about time to pass the torch to a senator with guts.
