The Parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough has stage 3 breast cancer
 
And I believe she is off duty so who would fill her position in case she can't make it back on time to consider Plan B??

Ηere's the deal ��

What happened: The Senate parliamentarian, the arbiter of what can be included in Democrats' sprawling reconciliation bill, will be out for two weeks for surgery to treat stage 3 breast cancer.

How lawmakers learned: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made the announcement to their respective caucuses Tuesday.

Why it matters: The parliamentarian is expected to deliver several key rulings on what Democrats can put in their reconciliation package in the coming weeks, as the majority party struggles to assemble a workable bill.

Gov shutdown imminent? This is like a telenovela.

Possibly a bad development, but also a ray of hope, if McDonough was bound to rule against.

Regardless, I wish her well.

Sources close to Senate procedure say, yes, there is a deputy, and in fact, the current Parliamentarian used to have that role.

My editorial comment: methinks a deputy would be very risk averse.

She is expected to be out for 2-3 weeks and her deputies will handle her duties in the interim.

She may hold our fate in her hands, but cancer is some horrid shit to deal with so I send her positive energy.

That said, who's to say that the deputies won't uphold her thoughts on the situation? Perhaps she left some sort of guidance? I'm not totally sure how the deputies are to handle her duties.

That's a very good point you make, are the deputies supposed to follow her guidance or decide based on their interpretation, but even if they were to follow her guidance she wasn't give plan B yet before she went off duty so she couldn't have given any guidance imo.
