I'm not arguing republican or democrat on this one, I just think you guys are not understanding the system of checks and balances.
Assuming checks and balances pertained to the political affiliations inside the senate instead of the branches of goverment, you guys are taking away that checks and balances system by giving power to a minority.
You are giving power to someone who opposes the majority of the people in the country and making the majority of elected officials powerless. Thats not in the best interest of the people.
It seems lately that people want to change the meaning of majority. When a group of people make a decision based on a majority vote, it would be nice if all agreed and the vote was unanimous, but the fact is that in a majority vote, 51% = the same result as 99%. We dont let John Kerry make presidental decisions becuase he got alot of votes.
