Every conversation about Byrd rule and parliamentarian rulings is ultimately a conversation about the filibuster. Senate Dems are using the reconciliation process, which requires Byrd compliance, because they want to preserve the filibuster. Normal legislating isn’t Byrd-limited. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattdizwhitlock correct. in theory they COULD have VP or Leahy rule it in and it’d require 60 votes to stop. but that risks alienating Manchin on the larger bill hence Dems reluctant to go there — PolitiTweet.org

And as long as Democrats don’t have the votes to slash the filibuster (and they currently don’t) they’re unlikely to have the support to disregard the parliamentarian’s advice on the reconciliation process. The two go hand in hand. — PolitiTweet.org
