What did the rule about having it read aloud say about it being read, are there any sleep breaks, and if so, did the senators set up cots?

If they overrule the parliamentarian on a rule, I think that such a thing has to be voted on by the senate at large.

I’ll be the contrarian - happy to see these special pork provisions called out. Alaska and Hawaii need to live by the same rules as everyone else. This was the same crap that was used to pass Obamacare.

These same rules protect my interest when the rats are running the show, which, for those with short memories, was just 4 years ago.

Where the heck did the RATS dig up this skank and who voted for her?

The Senate parliamentarian is appointed, no votes required. Elizabeth MacDonough, has held the office of senate parliamentarian since 2012, appointed by then-Senate majority leader Harry Reid.

IMO, it's far past time for her to go.

WASHINGTON– On Thursday, U.S. Senators Roger Marshall, Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), introduced a resolution to implement term limits on the Senate Parliamentarian, a key figure in the United States Senate who advises on rules, procedures, and precedents as it relates to the reconciliation process, according to a statement from Marshall's office.

Text of resolution is linked here: https://hayspost.com/posts/daf81fdd-3b10-449e-8b46-683f97ddceda

SHE CAN HAVE AN OPINION.

SHE HAS ZERO POWER TO ENFORCE THAT OPINION

Harry Reid got her that job. From the grave he’s still screwing things up.
