Politics is about consensus,
On what planet? The number of public policy issues on which there is “consensus” is pretty small. There’s no consensus about appropriate marginal income tax rates, use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” for terrorists, or thousands of other current issues. If you want the government limited to passing laws for which there is consensus, I can live with that. Liberals can’t, and won’t. If Republicans are limited to supporting laws for which there is consensus, you are engaging in unilateral political disarmament.
