From your posts. It's not a difficult conclusion to come to.

to impose its will on the majority?
What criterion or criteria would enable us to judge that?
An interesting question. Since you're the one advancing that argument maybe you'd like to tell us?

or how to measure it.
It's not that we haven't agreed. It's that you've supplied no definition for what it is beyond terms like "super-minority". As asked above, what criteria are you using to judge this? So far the only issue you've even raised in which this is occurring is abortion, and there are excellent examples, such as Kansas, of the electorate exercising their voice and power to reverse the legislature. Hardly minority control when the majority voted the law down.
