Term limits, while objectionable on every ground, might mitigate against the perversity of gerrymandered Congressional districts. This entrenched practice of gerrymandering has effectively neutered Congress from any responsibility to the voter. Term limits interfere with the effects of gerrymandering and thus is good.

Gerrymandered congressional districts (in my opinion) are the number one 'anti-democracy' process engaged in Washington and every State capitol. Anything that can work against this is good.
Now I forget what gerrymandering means. Could you explain to me quickly ? I'm sure you make a good point but I must plead somewhat ignorant.

... I wondered if this new thread was going to get any attention.
