When an AD is clearly in the rough against the consensus of the IESG 
they should not have the power to individually block the progress of 
work for which there is clear IETF consensus.

I don't disagree with the above.  What I disagree with is the notion that the 
rest of the overworked IESG provides adequate review.

The current voting procedure is the only protection that the community has 
against an AD who has decided that his opinion trumps the expertise of the 
working group and the rest of the IESG. 

It's the only protection that exists now.  But it's not the only way to solve 
the problem.
