Then prepare for disappointment - you need 60 votes in the Senate to shove through legislation without input from the minority party.

In my opinion, its the best feature of US style government - even the opposition gets input on major legislation. Its the reason we don't have a stock based Social Security system now. Or a permanent estate tax cut. Its what keeps political parties from doing stupid things.
