Not at all, Vaska dear. It's Reid who doesn't trust democracy; he's trying to put repeal out of democratic reach. Look how many trillions he's spending on kickbacks and special favors just to secure the 60 votes he already has. They want to make it all but impossible to undo "democratically," by making it by definition "out of order" to change any aspect of a particular portion of the bill -- the one colloquially referred to as the "death panel" section -- without a *super* majority.
