Although I understand the desire to give the minority some say in making legislation and confirming presidential appointees, that’s why we have elections. That’s why there is supposed to be a fair and honest amendment process on legislation, which got lost along the way as hyper partisanship took over. To require 60 votes on everything is what’s extreme and, although not strictly unconstitutional, is certainly extra-constitutional. It basically defeats the outcome of elections.
