Verdict is in: Texas voters tell oldest judges it's time to retire
When it comes to age on the ballot, Texas didn’t wait until 2024 to weigh in.
Asked to let judges stay on the bench until they’re 79 years old — a year younger than President Joe Biden — Texas voters soundly rejected the proposal in Tuesday’s elections, a defeat that drew new attention to issues of age and fitness for office in the U.S.
“Age is front of mind for American voters in a way that it has not traditionally been and they are nervous about it,” said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.
Others cautioned against broader takeaways. At least four other states have rejected similar proposals over the last decade, according to the National Center for State Courts. And states that have passed the measures have mostly done so in close votes.
Lead poisoning causes permanent irreversible brain damage that manifests in the form of learning disability and behavioral disorders.
Ok so the claim is that the president and Senate minority leader got permanent irreversible brain damage in the 70s?
More than likely, they got it as children.
You think it is more than likely that both of these people had permanent brain damage their whole lives and proceded to get elected to higher and higher office continuously getting votes amongst the scrutiny of the national press for decades? Despite having zero evidence.
If true, it must be brain damage so slight that it's meaningless. If false, you're just making something up because you don't like some political leaders.
It sounds like you haven't read about chronic lead poisoning. You should do so sometime.
I'm more interested in actual political discussions instead of parsing out this weird baseless accusation.
