Senate parliamentarian will kill it. That’s my bet.

The senate can put in a clause...the bill passes as is, never mind what the parliamentarian says about it...then what can she do about it? Nothing! The constitution doesn’t require a parliamentarian to parse a senate bill, it just has to be constitutional.

That mean Thune, not Parliamentarian - for two reasons.

1. He won’t replace her.
2. Her role is advisory - he can ignore it. It’s rarely done, but he can.

That's a good bet. SOP at this point.

That's where my bet is placed too. Harry Reid put her there to thwart GOP initiatives. Imagine the power this unelected and unconstitutional position wields.

It's a shame she has been allowed to do what she has done for so long.

You’re repeating the Thune propaganda. Don’t do that. The Senate parliamentarian can’t block anything. Thune, using the proletariat as an excuse is the one who blocks..

“Senate parliamentarian will kill it. That’s my bet.”

I think there is a very good chance of that. Again, a failure by John Thune in not replacing the Dem. parliamentarian with a conservative one. The guy is Mitch McConnell 2.0, but without the knowledge and ability to use the archaic Senate rules to get things done.

You win, but if thune had any balls she'd fire that bitch and ignore her ruling.

Well, that ain't gonna happen.

Correct. Johnson is powerless to advance this past the Senate. That’s been clear for months.
