I didn't read the books so that scene played extremely raw with me. It was so shocking and unbelievable that I had rewound my DVR and watch it again because I just couldn't comprehend it. Now I am truly inspired to read the books.

You know the biggest reason as to why they don't do it? It's lack of courage because they are afraid that if they become the party of the minority then power would be taken away from them. Here is my thing.. doing the right thing has ALWAYS been the honest thing. Do it now, fix it today. Simple Majority.

It should be a simple majority. It always should be that. When you are voting on something, even if its one vote, that is the deciding factor. We vote to elect people that way (sort of for president). Every single thing in life that is voted on, normally wins by a simple majority.
I never understood that need of getting 60 people out of a 100 to agree. In fact, supreme court decisions comes down to a 5-4 vote not a 6-3 or 7-2.
