Re: politic on the board
Imagine the clamor, if the next Administration declared a "National Health Emergency" and nationalized healthcare? The Republicans would be in fits!
A 2/3rd majority was a good system for appointed positions. It forced thing toward middle ground and kept extremist from either fringe from gaining too much sway. It was a check on too much power going one way or the other. A hard won rule made by are forefathers Easy to change and no one in the Senate is going to change it back, we are now at another similar watershed, and I don't know if there is the backbone to stop it, either in the courts or the congress.
