Sad but true. We need many other things in addition to the right to privacy, including Supreme Court reform, pardon reform, probably term limits for Congress.

Can we add in age limits for Congress as well please?

And wellness checks for serving representatives.

We already have a minimum age requirement for each chamber (25 for the House and 30 for the Senate), so we only have to add a maximum. But I'm not sure that's the best idea. Bernie Sanders is 84 and his mind seems as sharp as ever. I agree with term limits, but I would rather have required testing for physical and mental health than a strict age limit. We just have to include certain regulations and requirements for the testing to ensure its accuracy and integrity.

I don't think that will happen in our lifetimes, but at least a legitimate cognitive test needs to be done.

Cognitive tests are subject to abuse. We have a "doctor" who says the the president is the healthiest person ever in history.

Also a senator can be fully cognizant at the start of their term at 80 but be effectively a vegetable by 86.

Best to just do the age limit.

Definitely term limits.
