What @RoKhanna et al. are calling for is @VP to *ignore* the parliamentarian by issuing a ruling that the $15 wage complies. The parl. is an adviser and has no power to rule; the presiding officer rules and VP can preside. Hence this scenario doesn’t require a vote to *overrule.* — PolitiTweet.org

@RoKhanna That is my understanding too! But ‘75 was before Byrd became law. My point is it would largely neuter that rule. — PolitiTweet.org

In any event, the other problem for Democrats pushing a $15 wage end-run around the parliamentarian is that even if they clear the rules hurdle, they lack 50 Senate votes for the policy. — PolitiTweet.org
