Amid renewed questions of age and health in Congress, lawmakers are split on whether they should implement some form of term limits, capping the number of terms any one person can serve as an elected federal representative.

Despite the relative popularity of the idea of term limits, the debate hinges on whether implementing such a policy would inhibit voter choice and make it harder for Capitol Hill to retain institutional expertise.

That’s the concern of Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont.

"The voters will decide who they want. We have term limits, and we have age limits and that is the voter. And if they decide they want to elect an 80-year-old or 100-year-old that's up to the voters," Sheehy said.

Rep. Glen Grothman, R-Wisc., echoed Sheehy’s thinking.

"I think the voters — when they’re electing, if they want to elect Grassley, you shouldn’t take that right away from them," Grothman said, referring to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the oldest serving member of Congress.

Grassley is 92 years old.

Although Grassley himself remains in good health, concern about other senior members of Congress has reentered the public eye in recent weeks. Most recently, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., 71, unexpectedly died in office last week. Before that, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., 84, and Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., 57, prompted public speculation after extended absences due to health reasons.

LINDSEY GRAHAM, SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR WHO ROSE FROM SMALL-TOWN ROOTS TO GOP POWER BROKER, DIES AT 71

In light of those recent events, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said he believes that lawmakers should recognize their own personal limits but seemed hesitant to agree that one bar should be set for all members.

"People ought to know when it’s time to step aside," Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said.

"I’ve never been a big supporter of legislative term limits. I’ve served two terms in every position I’ve held until this one. I’m in my third term, but I’ve kind of limited myself before because I feel like you should make opportunities for others. And there’s always a trail on the pool of people who are willing to do it," Warner said.

Other lawmakers disagreed, arguing that the oldest members of Congress had shown that most officeholders would strive to extend their stay in power as long as possible.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, believes that the necessary path is term limits.

"I’d like to see limits on everybody. And the best limit would be term limits and that’s what we should pass," Cruz said.

"I’ve authored a constitutional amendment that would limit all senators to two terms and limit all House members to three terms. An overwhelming majority of Americans support that, and that would solve the problem effectively because you wouldn’t have people staying here forever."

UNLIKELY BIPARTISAN SENATE DUO SEEKS TO PERMANENTLY BAN EX-LAWMAKERS FROM LOBBYING

That’s also the position of Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., who said the long tenure of some lawmakers likely goes against the original design for the country.

"I’ve been in favor of term limits before I came to Congress. I think the last thing that we need are professional politicians up here. I don’t think that the founding fathers ever meant for it to be that way. Too much power invested in one person — absolute power corrupts absolutely," Marshall said.

Prominent House Democrats appeared caught off guard when asked about the newly announced plan by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) that calls to destroy the current America’s political system — eliminating the Senate, president and Supreme Court.

"I don’t support that," Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said when asked about the new agenda. "I haven’t read the proposal."

The revision to the DSA platform, "Workers Deserve More" plans to abolish the Senate entirely and replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary elected by and subordinate to Congress.

BERNIE SANDERS, DSA REVEAL DEMANDS FOR DEM PARTY AFTER SOCIALISTS SWEEP NEW YORK ELECTIONS

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of the most progressive Democrats in Congress, dodged answering questions on the new socialist agenda from Fox News Digital.

"I'm not a member of the DSA, so I can't comment on any documents that they put out," Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said.

The political commitments of the program are split into three sections, with the last section calling "for a unicameral, proportional legislature (abolishing the Senate) and a parliamentary system (abolishing the presidency), among other goals."

The platform additionally calls for the complete abolishment of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), pardoning all immigrants, including those who have committed crimes, and defunding the Department of War.

DSA CO-CHAIR PUSHES BACK ON SOVIET UNION COMPARISONS, WANTS PRISONS TO BE 'LESS NECESSARY'

The organization has publicly advocated for ICE to be abolished since 2018 and its current platform calls for a slew of other extreme immigration reforms, including an "immediate end to all deportations," "extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens" and easing restrictions on immigration control for migration between countries.

The far-left plan comes as the socialist agenda is proving to be making its way into the mainstream Democratic party as several DSA members and self-proclaimed socialists have been beating out more moderate Democrats in many of this year’s primary elections.

Aguilar told Fox News Digital that he was "not at all" worried about the wave of far-left, socialist candidates complicating the Democratic party’s agenda.

"I look forward to working with all our colleagues who run as Democrats," Aguilar said.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS ERUPT OVER 2028 ENDORSEMENT AS AOC SPECULATION GROWS: 'DANGEROUS PATH'

In a statement published Friday in Democratic Left, the DSA's official magazine, the organization laid out the formal requirements for these socialist candidates to receive an endorsement from DSA.

" Workers Deserve More will have a formal role in DSA’s national candidate endorsement process. Candidates will "be expected to accept and promote DSA’s program, and align their own campaign platforms with its contents to the best of their ability," according to the resolution calling for a new Workers Deserve More ."

The endorsement requirement means the platform is more than a policy wish list as candidates seeking a DSA endorsement are expected to campaign in line with its agenda, even as House Democrats like Omar, Khanna and Aguilar tell Fox News Digital they had either not read the proposal or declined to comment on it.

A Tennessee woman was arrested this week after authorities said she tried to drown one of her children in a backyard swimming pool.

Mikaylee Rae Beirne, 31, of Johnson City, was charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect following the July 15 incident, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Washington County Sheriff Keith Sexton said deputies responded to a disturbance at a home on Cochran Road around 5 p.m.

BROOKLYN MOTHER WHO DROWNED HER THREE CHILDREN IN THE OCEAN NEAR CONEY ISLAND SENTENCED TO DECADES IN PRISON

Witnesses told deputies Beirne was in the backyard pool with multiple children while another adult was inside the home.

According to investigators, one of the children ran inside to alert the adult that Beirne was allegedly forcing another child underwater.

The adult rushed to the pool and demanded that Beirne release the child, but she refused, authorities said.

The adult then pulled Beirne away and helped the child out of the water. Officials said another adult arrived at the home and briefly interacted with Beirne before deputies arrived. Beirne left the scene before law enforcement responded.

The children were taken inside the home while emergency personnel were called. Authorities said the child suffered minor injuries and bruising.

Deputies located Beirne a short time later and took her into custody.

She is being held at the Washington County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.

The American education establishment is currently having a collective meltdown. If you watch the headlines closely, you can see the panic setting in across the country.

This is the unmistakable sound of a broken progressive machine collapsing under the weight of its own arrogance. The radical left has engineered our educational system to prioritize ideological compliance over human formation. Reality is finally catching up with them, and the collapse is starting where the crusade began. The war on merit.

A few years ago, the "prestigious" University of California system proudly eliminated standardized testing. They sacrificed the SAT and ACT on the altar of "equity," claiming that objective academic standards were inherently discriminatory. The administrators confidently claimed that removing the tests would level the playing field. They promised it would open the doors of elite academia to students with fewer resources, reshaping the demographic makeup of the incoming students.

CONFIDENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION SLIPS AFTER BRIEF RECOVERY, GALLUP POLL FINDS

This decision turned out to be a complete disaster.

The results are in and the failure is so undeniable that even the New York Times admitted that dropping test requirements was a terrible mistake. These universities are discovering the hard way that when you declare war on merit, you reward mediocrity. You rob intelligent, hard-working students of the ability to prove their worth, all to satisfy a progressive political checklist.

Standardized tests stood for generations as an equalizer. They were a reliable tool for intelligent hard-working students from a failing public school could use to prove they were just as capable as a wealthy student from a private prep school. A high SAT score cut through the noise of privilege. By eliminating that objective metric, the University of California did not fix inequality. They worsened the issue. Admissions offices were forced to rely on highly subjective metrics like inflated GPAs, heavily coached essays, and expensive extracurricular activities, things that favor the wealthy.

PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL SCHOOL HIT WITH CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT OVER ALLEGEDLY DISCRIMINATORY SCHOLARSHIPS

Without a standardized test to anchor the admissions process, they tried to engineer a utopian admissions process and ended up robbing working-class students of the ability to prove they are just as capable as those with limitless money and private tutors. The war on merit has led to the destruction of the higher education standard. Now, replacing it is a subjective system where ideological compliance and family wealth rule the day.

This spectacular failure in California should cause grave concern and serve as a warning for other higher education institutions in the country. We cannot build a prosperous, resilient nation by hiding from the truth or lowering the bar. If we want to truly help the next generation, we must stop lying to them about what it takes to succeed.

Real life does not operate on a test blind curve. In fact, we are already seeing elite institutions like MIT, Dartmouth, and Yale reinstating their test requirements because they realized the "equity" argument was entirely backward.

LIBERAL FACULTY STILL HUGELY OUTNUMBER CONSERVATIVES IN HIGHER EDUCATION: REPORT

As a university president, I, for one, will not stand by and watch higher education lose its merit. We must restore objectivity to the application process, and demand genuine intellectual effort over artificial, progressive shortcuts.

But this fight is about much more than admission to college. This is about the survival of America. The defining promise of this country has always been that it does not matter where you come from, how much money your parents make, or your last name. If you work hard and achieve excellence, there is a place for you. When education abandons merit, they destroy that promise.

The war on standards has failed. It is time to reject the equity hustle and restore excellence.

Lindsey Graham was a consequential senator. If there was an important issue, he was right there on top of it. But that’s not the whole story. The essence of his character, the shaping of his background, the joy he found in people and in the political process, and the joy he brought to those around him, is the big story.

Over the years I had an opportunity to see Lindsey at work on many occasions, and to hear his passion for the issues. He could be the most entertaining person at any dinner table, but his wit was matched by a razor-sharp mind that was always considering how to solve the next problem. He never stopped working. The night he died he’d just returned from Kyiv, Ukraine where he’d met with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Lindsey’s love for people shined through. He had a special appeal and was socially gifted. Maybe that came from his early years hanging out in the back room of his parents’ bar, where he learned the fine art of schmoozing. People from every walk of life crossed his path, and he was interested in them all.

LINDSEY GRAHAM'S SISTER CARRIES ON LATE SENATOR'S WORK, BECOMING SOUTH CAROLINA'S FIRST FEMALE SENATOR

Lindsey also learned early in life the meaning of commitment. His mother died when he was 20, followed by his father months later. Lindsey became the legal guardian for his 13-year-old sister Darline, who once called him "a brother, a father and a mother rolled into one." He raised her to adulthood, and they have always been extremely close. With Lindsey’s death, Darline has been appointed by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster to finish her brother’s term, which expires at the beginning of 2027.

Lindsey’s death on July 11 at the age of 71 capped a Congressional career that began in 1992 in the South Carolina House, then the U.S. House for eight years, and the U.S. Senate since 2003. From 1995-2015 he simultaneously served in the Air Force Reserves. His passing brought a flood of tributes, including tearful memories from his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Their disputes melted away as they recalled their friend. What struck me most was how so many of them had stories about Lindsey’s passion for finding common ground so he could get things done.

I often observed that Lindsey loved to make a deal. He could work with anybody and threw himself into the most challenging public issues, laboring alongside people with whom he differed on other issues. He never let the differences get in the way—although he never pulled his punches when he disagreed, and he did passionately disagree with the left on many occasions.

'THE HALLS OF THE SENATE ALREADY FEEL EMPTY': TEARFUL THUNE HONORS LINDSEY GRAHAM AS SISTER TAKES HIS SEAT

Yet those same people summoned up sincere praise for him in the days following his death. Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin spoke with obvious fondness when he recalled emotionally, "Lindsey, for many years, was the only Republican willing to co-sponsor the Dream Act, a bill that I introduced over 20 years ago and reintroduced in successive Congresses, providing protection to undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children, his support took guts. At a time when issues surrounding immigration were becoming politically toxic, Lindsey stuck his neck out for me and for these young people. I will never ever forget."

New Jersey Democrat Corey Booker shared a similar experience, recounting their collaboration on important legislation. He admired Lindsey and appreciated his uniqueness. Booker recounted how a White House negotiator had once told him that "Lindsey Graham was like an unguided missile. That God, he never knew which way he was going to go, whether he would come back and hit you, but when he was aligned, when he would be in the right place at the right time, man, he could get things done that other people couldn't, and bring a lot of light and new possibilities to the efforts."

The day after Lindsey’s death, Senate Majority Leader John Thune spoke in the senate. With tears in his eyes he said, "I come to the floor today with a heavy heart. I look to my right, and I see a desk which we in the Senate refer to and know as the John Calhoun desk is covered with a black shroud, and on top of that shroud is a bowl of white roses. That is present as Lindsey Graham's desk. It's difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer here with us. That we won't run into him at a media day or share a joke with him at this afternoon's vote. The halls of the Senate already feel empty without him, and I know I'm not alone in that feeling. He was a friend to so many of us on both sides of the aisle."

KAGAN RECALLS LINDSEY GRAHAM'S VOTE THAT HELPED SEAL HER SUPREME COURT CONFIRMATION

One of my favorite interactions with Lindsey came in 2022 at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston, where an exact replica of the U.S. Senate chamber had been erected. There I hosted a debate between Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham, who were fierce ideological rivals, but who shared that common chord of civility and respect.

I remember well Lindsey’s opening remarks: "This place is awesome!" he declared, looking around the senate chamber replica. He explained, "We’re here to honor Ted and Orrin—Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch, who were great friends. They fought like tigers, but they could work together. And I have a different take on things than Bernie, but I like Bernie." I was struck by Lindsey’s reference to Kennedy and Hatch. They were lions in the senate, and Lindsey was too, all belonging to an era when legislative disputes did not carry over into personal grudge matches. 

People like Lindsey were working toward a return to that idea, and the debate with Sanders was a step in that direction. The debate displayed their differences, but also surprising areas of commonality, such as on gun control. At the end, they were both smiling, and they agreed that the debate had been fun.

Lindsey was a big believer in getting along, no matter what it took. During his short-lived campaign for president in 2015, he noted approvingly how Republican President Ronald Reagan and Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill met together regularly for drinks at the White House, even though they were on opposite sides. "That’s the first thing I’m going to do as president," he promised. "We’re going to drink more."

Those who knew Lindsey understood that one of his great loves was golf. I played with him many times. 

Was he a good golfer? Not particularly. But he was extremely fun to play with. He recognized the importance of the game as a social bonding activity. He’d make you feel good to be with him. Which is one of the most important qualities of a golf partner, a friend, and a statesman.

It’s a big reason we’ll miss having him in our lives.

Two families are suing a North Dakota hospital, alleging hospital staff mistakenly switched two baby boys at birth more than 36 years ago.

Kyle Bylin and Jeremy Morrison were the only two babies born at Unity Medical Center in Grafton, North Dakota, on Jan. 26, 1988, the men and their families said in the lawsuit, according to KVLY. Christian Unity Hospital Corporation, doing business as Unity Medical Center, was named as the defendant.

The plaintiffs allege hospital staff switched the infants and sent them home with the other child’s biological parents, the outlet reported. The two men were then raised by each other’s biological families, allegedly without anyone's knowledge.

The lawsuit says the switch was not discovered for more than 36 years.

FAMILY OF TODDLER FOUND ALIVE IN MORGUE AFTER BEING DECLARED DEAD PLANS LEGAL ACTION

Two years ago, Morrison, who now lives in Colorado, took a DNA test and learned the parents who raised him were not his biological parents. Morrison told KKTV that his aunt provided DNA, and Bylin matched as her nephew. Morrison said he does not have any cousins.

Morrison told the outlet that he always felt different from the family he grew up with.

"I didn't have anyone that looked like me in my family," Morrison said. "I was that blonde-haired kid that stood out in a family full of brown-haired people."

"I know I definitely wouldn't be here in Colorado today if I went home with the right parents," he said. "I would have been working the farm with my older brother that I never knew I had."

Both sets of parents have met their biological sons, but the two men have not met each other, according to KKTV.

DNA FROM SODA BOTTLE ALLEGEDLY LINKS MASSACHUSETTS WOMAN TO 1985 MURDER OF 'BABY BOY DOE'

Unity Medical Center denied the allegations and asked the court to dismiss the case with prejudice.

Attorneys for the hospital argued that its staff "possessed and exercised the appropriate degree of skill and learning" and "at all times used reasonable care, judgment, and diligence," according to KVLY.

The hospital also claims the lawsuit may be prohibited by the statute of limitations, pointing to "the length of time that has passed between the alleged incident and the service of this lawsuit."

The plaintiffs are seeking more than $50,000 in damages and have asked for a jury trial.

The hospital also raised comparative fault as a defense, arguing that damages, if any, could be attributable to parties other than the hospital.

The hospital has also demanded a jury trial.

Unity Medical Center said in a statement to KKTV that it is "currently working to better understand a highly unusual situation involving two men who apparently were separated from their biological parents at some point during their lives," adding: "Both men were born at our hospital on the same day in 1988, and we recognize the profound impact this discovery has had on them and their families."

"Unfortunately, because of the passage of nearly four decades, the medical and staffing records that might have provided additional clarity no longer exist, and no members of the delivery team from that time are still employed by the hospital," the statement continued. "While we deeply sympathize with the men and their families, we have found no evidence to support claims that Unity Medical Center or its staff were responsible for what occurred."

"Maybe I lack imagination, but I didn’t expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was and why I had to wear one," Justice Amy Coney Barrett told Congress on Monday.

Justice Barrett was explaining in vivid terms why the Supreme Court had requested an additional $14.6 million, as part of its $228 million budget request, for enhanced security.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES HEAD TO CAPITOL HILL FOR FIRST CONGRESSIONAL APPEARANCE SINCE 2019

Her fellow witness, Justice Elena Kagan, observed that threats against the Supreme Court had risen 38% this year. Justice Barrett herself had suffered a "swatting" attack earlier this year, in which someone falsely reported an armed shooter at her house. More alarmingly, an assassin attempted to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the 2022 leak of the court’s Dobbs opinion, which overturned Roe v. Wade and its creation of a constitutional right to abortion.

While the justices are often willing to write hundreds of pages setting out their opinions on constitutional law, they left unanswered the question of why threats have risen so sharply.

The answer seems clear. Left-wing activists and leaders have waged war against the court. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for example, warned Justices Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch against overruling Roe. He appeared on the front steps of the Supreme Court and threatened that they would "pay the price" and "won’t know what hit [them]."

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR CLAIMS GOP 'STOLE' TWO SCOTUS SEATS IN 2016, 2020, CALLS FOR EXPANSION

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., has attempted to raise ethical doubts about the justices because they allegedly accepted gifts from wealthy benefactors. 

Virtually all the major leaders of the Democratic Party agree with the idea of packing the Supreme Court because they disagree with its decisions. Former Vice President Kamala Harris declared in May that Democrats should consider expanding the court with liberals and punishing conservatives. "This is a moment where there are no bad ideas," the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate said on a podcast.

These attacks stem from the left’s larger attack on the Supreme Court as an agent of the Trump administration. Schumer, for example, often criticizes what he dubs "the MAGA Supreme Court" for transforming government agencies into "members-only clubs for his golf buddies and cronies." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries decries "the corrupt conservative majority on the Supreme Court appointed by Donald Trump" for taking "a blowtorch" to civil rights laws.

MORNING GLORY: THE SUPREME COURT OFFICIALLY CLOSES THE BOOKS ON ANOTHER TERM

But the Supreme Court term that just ended demonstrates — yet again — that the court does not decide cases with an eye to partisan winners and losers. President Trump lost on several of his signature policies: in Learning Resources, the court struck down the White House’s universal tariffs as beyond the delegation of international economic power; in Barbara, a 6-3 majority affirmed birthright citizenship over a Trump executive order; in Cook, the justices blocked Trump’s removal of a governor on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Trump only prevailed when his positions aligned with the Roberts court’s long-term agenda. In Slaughter, Trump won the power to fire the heads of administrative agencies, but the justices had been steadily expanding the president’s removal power for the last 15 years. In RNC, the court struck down more limits on the ability of parties to spend campaign funds in coordination with candidates, but only because the justices have steadily treated campaign funding as speech. In Callais, the Trump administration won the end of the use of race in congressional redistricting, but only because the Roberts court has steadily ended the government’s ability to use race in making decisions.

The court does not think in terms of Republicans and Democrats. It instead fights over much deeper differences between conservatives and progressives on constitutional interpretation.

The conservative justices generally believe that the court should interpret the Constitution based on the original understanding of its ratifiers; the liberal justices would allow contemporary ideals — whether political, economic or philosophic — to govern as well. These are the types of disputes appropriate to the Supreme Court, and to allow it to interpret and apply the Constitution free from political influence, the Framers gave federal judges lifetime tenure with undiminished pay.

But to make short-term political gains, the left would sacrifice the independence of the courts. Manipulating the size of the court in response to its decisions is just an attempt to dictate the desired outcomes to the justices.

Threats against them are merely another political tool to pressure the court to change its ways. These threats, encouraged by the heated rhetoric of Democratic leaders, along with court-packing, are themselves of a piece with the broader progressive attack on constitutional structure.

Democrats also want to abolish the Senate filibuster, which bolsters the constitutional structure by slowing legislative speed and enhancing deliberation and bargaining, so that the Senate will more closely resemble the House; add the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as states, unbalancing the Senate; and enact nationwide voting legislation, thereby undermining federalism.

Progressives believe that they hold the keys to an enlightened socialist utopia. Because they are convinced that they know the only true political ends of society, they will not allow the structural limits on mob democracy, imposed by the Framers, to stand in their way.

If the court will not permit the Constitution to be used to impose liberal theories of rights nationwide, progressives are happy to do away with the court’s independence. If the Senate will filibuster a wealth tax, then expand the Senate with blue states. If the president follows a restrictionist immigration agenda, then do away with the Electoral College, too.

Progressives, however, err in their attacks on the Framers’ restraints on pure democracy, embodied in a Supreme Court that interprets a written Constitution. If the last 10 years should have taught them anything, it is that they do not have the permanent support of the majority of the American people. When a majority of Americans support a president and Congress who will narrow or reverse the favored rights of progressives — witness the birthright citizenship case — they will be fortunate that an independent Supreme Court will hear their pleas. But that would require progressives to weigh the long-term benefits of a written Constitution against short-term partisan gains. 

That may be hoping for far too much.
