Democrats losing their 60-seat supermajority in the Senate may be a good thing, Vice President Joe Biden suggested Tuesday.

Speaking to a meeting of the Democratic National Committee's finance committee, Biden said that the supermajority came with excessively high expectations.

"Yes, it's had a practical impact, but I'm not so sure what a blessing 60 votes was. Not a joke, I mean it sincerely," he said, according to a pool report.

"When we had 60 votes there was the expectation left, right, and center that we could do everything we wanted to do, which was never realistic. Never," he explained.

Actually the old gaffer stumbled onto the truth there, if not exactly for the right reason.  It does end the free pony parade, but more importantly it repairs a dangerously-nonfunctional emergency brake in the whole system of governmental checks and balances.
