Actually, you "acknowledged that" in the course of arguing that the Constitution's inclusion of supermajority requirements in a variety of circumstances creates a presumption that elsewhere, simple majorities are ok.
As far as the applicability of the case, well, yeah -- I think the "blog" you warmly reference acknowledged that the analogy was clearly to state governments. The case revolved around the applicability of the 14th amendment which, I'll concede, doesn't talk about internal Senate rules. If you don't like reference to dicta in the absence of cases on point, just say so.
