Your response is IGNANT in the extreme. With a super majority the Congress can select anyone they need as President. What do you imagine they might do to the Supreme Court?

My apologies, I didn't realize that I was speaking with someeone that thought Congress selects the president and appoints the Supreme Court. In your world, a super majority would be more important. My mistake.

Just read the Constitution. A super majority would give Congress carte blanche to literally take over the rest of the government through the twin powers of impeachment and conviction (in a trial in the Senate).

They could pass Constitutional Amendments (and with a similar majority among the states, pass them within weeks).

Justices could be easily removed ~

This was early recognized by the folks who demanded a Bill of Rights ~ to protect individuals against the federal government.

There's really nothing new in what i said ~ just that you imagined there's something more important (in terms of organizing a government) than a Super Majority, and there isn't.

I'd much rather have a top to bottom Republican supermajority than simply another run of the mill, mealy mouthed, reach around President.
