America’s powerful female politicians tell us how they broke the glass ceiling

CAPT Gary Foster The last time I heard a politician actually live up to that was when the Dems were roasting Bernie Sanders for not supporting gun control. When pressed he responded that he didn't vote for it because the people he represents didn't want gun control so he voted based on the people he represented. For the most part anymore it is about advancing party agendas. Party agenda is set based on donations. Big donations come from corporations. So via six degrees of separation, they represent corporations.

SFC George Smith I agree. The reason I posted the piece was because I found it interesting as to what they went through in Washington, not that it really surprised me. The fact that these ladies have had long careers in Washington is evidence that our system, as it was intended, does not work anymore. They should not have had long careers in politics. Nobody should. They should run, be elected, serve, and return to their chosen career field. Nobody should be in Washington for more than 24 years. That is if they serve two terms in the house, two terms in the Senate, and two terms as POTUS. Supreme Court Justices should be overturned at least every 10 years. I imagine that a lifetime appointment was meant implying the justice would have the integrity to retire when they are no longer able to perform at their best (sleeping during the State of the Union)
