What is it about Janice Brown and Patricia Owen that causes you to go for the "scorched earth" metaphor?

Your metaphor is extreme and inappropriate.

I don't think changing the rules about how big of majority is needed to allow a vote is "scorched earth".

The rules have been changed before and they probably will be changed again. At one point the vice president got to decide. Much more recently it was 2/3rds of all present members, now its 3/5th of all members.
