Waaay too much truth to that. If we can get the convention of states lined up as our own Texas governor is working towards, term limits is one area that really needs addressed for all elected officials as well as those who are appointed, like supreme court justices. The concept of "life long legislators" building and lording over legislative kingdoms was never the founders intention, nor was the supreme court intended to do anything more than interpret legislated law.

Another area needing similar reigning in is the empowerment of unelected members of governmental agencies writing policy that is then given essentially the power of legislatively enacted law, with no actual oversight from anyone but those who appoint them. This is absolutely unconstitutional as the Constitution only empowers the legislature to write and enact laws.

Far too much of our governments actions are far afoul of what the Constitution allows.

There are those in this country who would like nothing better than doing away with the constitution entirely.
