Parliamentarian Weighing GOP Challenge to Reconciliation Bill

Now, be honest and admit that no one has evern questioned the idea that, once on the floor, the bill would pass by a simple majority vote.

That is not what the OP is about now is it? I'll just stick to the proven point that the GOP appointed Parliamentarian decided against the position of the GOP regarding the validity of reconciliation being used to pass HCR.

If you wish to make some other point I suggest you start a new thread about it.

Of course - as you do not have the intellectual honesty to admit that someone else is right.

From the OP ~

"Senate Parliamentarian Alan Frumin on Monday heard arguments for and against a Republican challenge to the health care reform reconciliation package, but he did not immediately issue a ruling."

From ABC News, March 24 ~

"Democrats won the first battle late Monday night when Frumin agreed with them that the bill does not affect Social Security. Had he sided with Republicans, the entire set of fix-its would have been ruled out of order and Democrats would have had to muster 60 votes -- they are at least one short -- to bypass him. "

Today's news ~

"The final House vote tallied in at 220-207 and the Senate vote was 56-43. Like Sunday's initial vote, the approval of this bill came with not one single Republican vote.

The bill will now be sent to President Barack Obama for his signature."

Still cannot bring yourself to say 'you're right Goob, no one has questioned the idea that a simple majority is enough to pass the bill once the bill is on the floor for a vote', eh?

No surprise.
