<DIV><BR><BR>There are consistent schools of p'sq tht DO work.&nbsp; And the one 
that really comes to mind most often is simply consensus.&nbsp; It works from 
Tanur Achinai right down to 3 matzos at the seder.&nbsp; It simply works 
consistently across the board.&nbsp; I have asked two prominent RAbbonim in 
Teaneeck and they BOTH gave me that is their primary method for Halachic 
decision making.&nbsp;<SPAN class=248053921-04072008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=248053921-04072008>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But that still&nbsp;begs 
the question, consensus based on what? If in the end it's lev shel torah you 
have the same consistency issue you mentioned earlier as well as the classic who 
gets a vote issue.&nbsp; Is it almost a gzeirat hakatuv that all votes on the 
sanhedrin were equal&nbsp; or is that the model and if so then how do we now 
determine to 70/1????</SPAN></DIV>
