RULE 310G - WILL IT SAVE AMERICA? YESSSSSSS!

HOT AIR:

Hmmmm:

Senate Republicans say they can get the whole package of reconciliation fixes – the fix-its that make the Senate plan palatable to House Democrats – thrown out with a trump card procedural motion.

... “Immediately after receiving the final reconciliation bill language, Senate Republican staff was ready and willing to meet with Senate Democratic staff and the Senate Parliamentarian to discuss the fact that the House reconciliation bill may be brought down by the 310(g) point of order in the Senate. Senate Democrats are mysteriously unavailable until after the House votes on the health care bill tonight. The Senate Democrats appear to be pushing off this meeting so that House Democrats will remain in the dark about what is likely to happen to the reconciliation bill on which many have staked their careers in Congress.

WHAT IS 310G?

HERE:

Points of Order Relating to Social Security
Section 310(g): Social Security and Reconciliation

Prohibits consideration of reconciliation legislation that contains recommendations with respect to Social Security.

BWHAHAHAHA!

WE GET TO HAVE OUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO: THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED
"YES" ON CLOWARD-PIVEN-OBAMACARE ARE TOAST, ANDS WE DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!

HOORAY!

A WIN-WIN FOR US AND A LOSE-LOSE FOR THEM!

OBAMACARE: WORST LEGISLATION EVAH!

OBAMA: WORST PRESIDENT EVAH!

UPDATE:

THE PARLIAMENTARIAN SHOT IT DOWN.

After hearing arguments on both sides, Frumin said that Democratic plans to push back an excise tax on so-called Cadillac insurance plans until 2018 was within the purview of budget rules allowable under the filibuster-proof reconciliation process. The GOP had argued it was beyond the scope of the five-year budgetary window allowed under the rules, and it was a violation of the so-called Byrd rule because of its changes to the Social Security law.

Republicans were hoping that if Frumin had ruled that the tax plan was out of order, it would have derailed the entire reconciliation measure.

WE SHALL NEVER GIVE UP OR GIVE IN... ON TO THE NEXT FRONT... THEN NEXT BATTLEGROUND: THE SCOTUS!
