My Email To Schumer On A DEMOCRATIC Nuclear Option

58. that's not an argument... that's merely a claim

I've cited the relevant portions of the Constitution if not in the OP then elsewhere in the thread. The ONLY relevant section that suggests this MIGHT be unconstitutional is in Art 5 that no state be deprived of it's equal suffrage in the Senate. But suffrage is typically the right to vote and arguably it really doesn't address the weight of a vote. It's a technical argument... but we've see the Right push the limits much further... in attempting to negate the Ninth Amendment of all meaning and removing the very clear militia intent from the Second.

In the end Dems need to finally start a long neglected debate on whether a minority government can EVER be moral legitimate. Between the presidency and the Senate we are now facing a constitutional tyranny of the minority which IS posing an existential threat to signature Dem safety net programs.
