Are supermajority votes in the Senate to pass all major legislation a good thing?

My reference was to the interpretation put on corporations, they are not a creature of the constitution, they are a creature of legislation that has been ruled to have developed rights of their own.

Since corporations are a creature of Congress they are subject to the will or whim of Congress, that was the storm I was alluding to. If Congress were to attempt to change that franchise we would see a battle that would make health care seem insignificant.

I'm sorry, I can't follow what you are saying. Since the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations have some protection under the Constitution, it would seem that such protections are not subject to the whim of Congress - that is, after all, why they are called Constitutional rights; Congress cannot abridge Constitutional rights. (Edit: theoretically, anyway, Congress is not supposed to be able to abridge Constitutional rights.)
