"The parliamentarian apparently ruled that they could not pass a reconciliation bill before Obama signed the senate bill. Who knows how he would rule if Pelosi :deemed” that the senate bill had passed without voting on it."

Don't forget, irrespective of what the Parliamentarian rules, Biden - as Senate President - may unilaterally overrule the Parliamentarian. I wouldn't think he'd be stupid enough to do that, but I didn't it would get this far.

As for the passing in the House without really voting maneuver, I'm really just speechless. They're so brazen and so full of hubris to even mention this as a possibility, to say nothing of actually doing it. If they actually do it, it will be the single greatest abuse of Legislative authority in the history of the Republic.

As I have said on similar issues, if congresscrooks shamelessly abuse their positions we have bestowed on them in good faith, we would need a constitutional amendment just to fix the legislative processes.
