The other point is "why in the hell should they be allowed to enforce a "super-majority" vote on the Senate?"

If you look at the world throught partisan-colored glasses--a big partisan tug of war, that makes perfect sense. But if you are focused on good governance, it's a dangerous distraction.

There is a huge pool of candidates out there. Do we really need judges who can get 51 but not 60 votes? Would you run your company that way? If you have an ample supply of qualified candidates, you hire the ones that your management team can agree on, even if that means passing on a few that struck your fancy for some reason. That's how you build a solid company. Or a solid judiciary.

They won't approve anything now but a flaming liberal.

So all the ones that they've been approving are flaming liberals, huh? LOL. They'll approve nice, non-flamboyant conservatives. Give them some fresh ones.
