Yeah, I don't see myself supporting this.
Democracy is protected just fine by the Constitution. The Constitution sets limits for the Senate to work within, which we have done and are doing. The Constitution also gives us leeway within those limits to construct a system that actually functions for us, as a branch of government. The Constitution requires a two-thirds threshold for these things, so we have a two-thirds threshold.
If I am understanding Franco correctly the root problem he is arguing about could probably be solved by raising the threshold, if there is an appetite for that, but striking the entire section is stripping both a coequal branch of government and its presiding officer of their constitutionally mandated powers as well as the leeway needed for this Dave-forsaken body to function, and I would much rather not rip our accelerator and brake system off in this fashion.
Yeah I propose raising the threshold, but not striking it out in its entirety.
