The Supreme Court has, unfortunately, ruled otherwise.

Lessig, in his retrospective on the Eldred case (term limits extension suit that went to SCOTUS) feels he should have focused on the promotion rather than limited terms clause.

Larry should have let a more experienced SCOTUS lawyer argue about it, but he also realized that in his retrospective too :(
