Senate parliamentarian pushes Democrats for more details on immigration plan - Page 3

Adverse parliamentarian decision is no excuse. Republicans don’t need to wait on Democrats to break Senate traditions for them to get drastic and creative in pushing for enforcement provisions in different ways. Remember Trump and funding for the wall? Since when do Republicans honor traditions? Remember Graham and ACB? Fuck that man. You can’t be afraid of these fuckers. There is just no defending Dems in not overruling her if she says no. No excuse whatsoever. This one step anyway. Manchin and Sinema still need to be on board. If nothing happens, let it be because of those two—not because of the parliamentarian’s decision which can just be overruled. It’s legal to do so. If GOP doesn’t like it, fuck them. They do shit we don’t like all the time. Cry me a river GOP. Like I said, shit isn’t rocket science. It’s not a far fetched idea to argue that legalizing 8 million people at $1500 a pop will have a great fiscal impact.

Get real. What was the last time republicans cared about the rules? From Supreme Court nomination to tax bill to immigration policies... they simply do not give a shit and do what is needed to push their agenda.

^Exactly, I don't like Republican but I respect the length they go to get what their constituents want. R's win even when they are in the minority just by block everything D want to do. It would be nice to be on the winning team for once. D need to work together and grow a pair. If you can't do shit in the majority and can't block shit in the minority then it's kind of a useless party.

Friend or foe? You decide.

She was an Immigration attorney at one point so there's that

what wears down our institution is creating a god damn unelected "parliamentarian" position overruling the will of the people in the first place. Your realize that's why the position was created right? You think the framers wrote that post in?

That's not even accurate.

The parliamentarian was created because someone has to interpret the rules that the Senate themselves created. Yes, the Senate creates their own rules, just like any other institution, just like your school and place of employment has internal rules.

Listen, I'm as upset as anyone regarding her opinion, but the forum is misdirecting their energy. The immigration provision in the reconciliation bill was against the rules, fine, then change the rules. Get rid of the filibuster.

I think her arguments went beyond the scope of what as an unelected Parliamentarian should be considering.

Bullshit. I can think of a million ways from Sunday how immigration has a budgetary impact. What, you think this is the first time the parliamentarian rules on an immigration issue?

Good luck getting rid of the filibuster when you don't even have the stones to get rid of an unelected official.

Should be all the excuse the dems need to fire her ass.

"Bitch xx politicized a budgetary decision and clearly couldn't separate herself from conflicts of as an immigration prosecutor."

Bam, wam, thank you mam, you've been tossed under the bus. That's how Repugnicunts get shit done.
