Senate Parliamentarian Rules, No Citizenship For Illegals

[RobDownSouth]

You WIN!

Any "liberal" should want open borders. Border control is a manifestation of authoritarian state power.

 

[Rightguide]

Sounds like a single-subject ruling. Strictly procedural. Nothing to stop a pathway-to-citizenship bill on its own.

Except opening a path through the Senate.

End the filibuster

 

[Rightguide]

And how long ago was that?

Arcane and/or irrelevant is your schtick!

As far as I know, the present Parliamentarian was appointed by Barack Obama.

End the filibuster

Too many Democrats see the need for it after next year.

I don't. I have always wanted the filibuster rule abolished regardless of which party controlled the Senate at the time.

It's been around forever. Stop whining.

Forever meaning since 1806.

 

[CornusKousa]

Oh look mr. Abolish ICE and CBP, king of open borders himself is here.

It's been around forever. Stop whining.

"Been around forever" is never a good reason to keep something.

You don't like it because the Republicans are going to avail themselves of it, but if Democrats needed it keep one or more of your golden calves alive, you'd be ejaculating your enthusiasm for it.

I never did before. Always wanted the filibuster gone. Gone all the way, not just modified to exclude judicial confirmations.
