ORIGINAL: cloudboy quote:
Wrong on both points. It would have taken unanimity of Republican Senators, It only takes 41 Senators to block US legislation, and that number constitutes a minority. The Senate is already anti-democratic as is, but its super anti-democratic when 41 Senators can roadblock the other 59 AND the US House of Representatives too. But not a minority of Republicans, as you claimed. And as far as it being "un-democratic", so what, we are a representative republic, not a democracy.
