And what is the numerical limit on the number of points of order that the Repubs can make?
My point being that the televised image of the VP constantly overruling the Senate Parliamentarian is not one that I would think Democrats would like Americans to see. I would think it would leave the impression among not-normally-engaged voters that the Democrats are carrying "the ends justifies the means" beyond the current and obvious "illegitimate" to "intolerable", requiring a new Congress at the earliest opportunity.
That is a very good question.
As long as they aren't “dilatory,” innumerable.
But apparently, the presiding officer of the Senate can rule that points of order are being made strictly with the intention of delaying the process, are dilatory, and can then be forbidden.
Again, it comes down to “how much do you want to piss of the minority party {remembering that they will likely one day again be in the majority]?”
My understanding is that the Dems are willing to go all the way.
