First, you couldn’t have elected both Grossman and Teck, so your indignancy lacks sincerity. Second, to suggest it is dishonorable for someone to resign from a job when the rules change and they no longer wish to perform the duties as required, is hogwash. Imagine if your boss put a new condition on your employment that you could not live with. You have the right to move on, why shouldn’t our elected officials? Finally, Senator Teck was term limited, and Senator Grossman announced his planned retirement even before Amendment 41. I think both of them gave many, many years of their lives in service to the public. Trying to cast these two as examples of bad-guys for this reason at least, is just mudslinging, and should be confronted.
I respect your views, however please to not twist my words. I never said I elected both Grossman and Teck. I said we. I wonder instead why you did not ask me who I meant by we. But I guess that is what happends when anger takes over while you write MontesquieuianGauntlet!
Perhaps your motives are pure, so I apologize. However, “we” normally means a group inclusive of both you, the speaker, me, the listener, and maybe others. So, I want to be clear, you do not speak for the “me” part of “we”.
That being said, please don’t mistake frustration with anger. I’m not mad at you, or angry about Amendment 41. Instead, I am frustrated by a citizenry that routinely holds its government up to a standard that is so unreasonable and unattainable, and then screams “FOUL” when the HUMANS we elect can’t live up to those expectations.
WE elected good public servants like Teck and Grossman to represent us, to make sound policy decisions, and to uphold the laws of the state and nation. We elect them to captain a ship that is not really well-equipped on minimal rations with no rudder. Then we proceed to spend their entire career lobbing cannon balls at their hull. I, for one part of “we” have no blame for these gentlemen choosing to leave early after long careers dodging cannonballs disguised as voter indignation.
