Animal House--- Thank you sir, may I have another.

Freshman Senator gets "initiated" into the DC politics.

Hmm. There's limits to hard-assery. Come to think of it, there's limits all around. One way or another, a man has to know his limitations.

Update:

The Freshman Senator may need to study the US Constitution. He needs a 2/3rds majority from both houses of Congress before it can be submitted to the states for ratification. The Democrats may have substantial majorities, but they cannot pass an amendment without GOP support.
