My concern is the wild swings in legislation every time the party in power changes.
Legitimate concern, but the parties are so divided now that nothing is ever going to get done on the Republican side without switching to a simple majority. There always seem to be asshole Republicans that capitulate to the Democrats but it never works the other way. Outside of Fetterman none of the Democrats are willing to work with us.
The key difference between Red Team jews and Blue Team jews is that Red wants to be liked by Blue, and Blue doesn't give a shit. A friend asked me to look into the Founders' original intent. I have to admit, I'm not sure they wanted a super-majority for anything but specific tasks. If I have time today I'll investigate.
I believe it was a simply majority at the time of the founders.
that Red wants to be liked by Blue
Rush used to lament about this. Republicans want to get invited to the parties and get praised in the media. Why? These people want you dead. Fuck that.
You are correct. I just spent the last hour reading and rereading the Constitution, portions of the Federalist Papers, the Rules of the Senate and more. I'm about to head out for a bit, but I'll do a write-up when I get home.
