richard nixon, the afl cio, chamber of commerce, american bar association, the house voted overwhelminglyege. there was a majority in the senate and something like 70, 75% of americans in polls supported it. but it didn't get the 2/3 that it needed in the senate, and so it died. >> minority rule was protected there, i guess. finally, daniel, one last question to you, what do you say to critics out there who might, you know, put forward the argument that in some cases, you need to have the power of the minority protected. if the shoe is on the other foot, and democrats were in the minority across the board. might they want to have at least some say in how things are governed? >> i would ask, is it partisan to think that the person who wins the most votes should win office? and no other domain of our life do we think majorities shouldn't govern, but we have this one single carve out in our political system. so, you know, sometimes the electoral college has benefitted democrats. sometimes it's benefitted republicans. sometimes the filibuster benefits democrats, sometimes it benefits, republi
