Glad there are some who hold to right practices

[Kpuppy0001]

It's good to know that Elizabeth MacDonough has the integrity to hold to right practices, even though the left constantly tries to slip things in that they can't get through in its own legislative merit. This has nothing to do with the legislation at hand it's just another attempt to game the system. Good for Ms. MacDonough way to catch them in the act.

So it goes. My feeling is that immigration is too important to be included in BBB. The building of huge omnibus bills to satisfy the limit of 3 reconciliation bills a year is not healthy: it applies to all bills now, not just military and farms like it used to.

McDonough is not the problem, in fact she could enforce Reconciliation (particularly the Byrd Rule) far more strictly if she chose.

I suppose a clean immigration bill would be out of the question? It wouldn't be much, and would be doing Republicans a favor, but it might be worth it to bury Trumpism on that issue.

"Right" is the definitely the operative word in that post. The current parliamentarian has thwarted democratic efforts repeatedly after working with Republicans to kill Obamacare's individual mandate. She should be replaced immediately. Republicans did that when they didn't like the holder of the office during the bush administration.

They could get it done, if they were to stop trying to sneak amnesty in.

Where is it written that a Democrat has to toe the party line? Remember the "Blue-Dogs" Liberalism is not required to be a member of the Party.

She's supposed to be nonpartisan.

Shes not.

In what capacity, it seems her decisions are based on proper procedure. just because her decisions don't go your way doesn't make her partisan; it does tend to lend credence to her credibility. She isn't there to ramrod the party's agenda. She is in the position to ensure parliamentary procedures are followed. Doing that properly is going lead to bumping heads with her own party at times. The fact that she has the integrity to do that tends to indicate that she is indeed non-partisan, if she were not she would any infraction of the rules by her party slide by.

There you go with the divisive terms. Is DACA an "amnesty"?

You are correct I researched this and I was mistaken.

I'd like to thank you I'm man enough to admit when I'm in error

She's not supposed to have a party in this job, but she does and it certainly doesn't seem to be the Democrats, who are not my party BTW.
