Sen. Thune says Senate won’t overrule parliamentarian

Why is there even a Senate Parliamentarian? No such office is mentioned in the Constitution.

If a senator has issues with the legality of a bill, how’s about having an aide do some research? Or better yet, go with your gut. That’s why you were elected in the first place.

she waited til the last minute to bring this up

didnt she?

[faithhopecharity]

an unknown civil servant who has never had to garner a single citizen’s vote

can in effect overrule both the Congress and the Executive?

and yet Obamacare was enacted after the appropriation language was written in the Senate, not the House where it is constitutionally required to originate. And with a vote in the House rigged by Pelosi to make sure no elected representatives even had time to read the damned bill anyway
and then signed into law by a constitutionally unqualified “president” with a fake name, fake birth certificate(s), stolen social security number, hidden immigration records, hidden selective service file (if any), etc.

where was this nice parliamentarian then, pray tell? asleep at the wheel, or what? (maybe had a job at the McD’s drive through window, for all I know... so where was whoever held the title parliamentarian.... then??????)

just curious
it seems ...again,...that we have two laws in modern Amerika....one law for the commie/nazi/progressives and another law for all the rest of us
