So in 2012, all we need is a simple majority to:
1. Privatize Social Security
2. Close Department of Education
3. Start robust domestic drilling
4. Make English Official US language
5. National Voter ID
This Majority Rules thingy is so fucking sweet!
Yep.
However, you would never get a Republican majority to vote for ANY of those things. Except maybe the drilling.
So when it comes to issues that are important to you Frank, apparently you're just out of luck.
So replace the Republicans with actual Constitutionally loyal Conservatives and replace as many of the liberal Democrats with Constitutionally loyal Conservatives as we can!
A bare majority would suffice!
