The Parliamentarian position must be abolished or at a minimum the parliamentarian must be replaced. The President of the Senate must take this matter in hand and overrule when necessary. John (Son of Murder Turtle) Thune is a RINO of the worst sort. More like a Democrat. Get rid of him too.
I only need to understand ONE fact in this issue: if this was a Republican admin appointee slowing the Democrat agenda, they would be gone in less than an instant. The FACT McConnel and Thune have left her in place tells us she is nothing more than an operative for Deep State to remain in control. Don't think, for one second, Thune is not part of it.
Republicans inevitably fail to make hay while the sun shines, and the People suffer. I can no longer give Thune the benefit of the doubt. He is not merely weak or incompetent, he is batting for the other team. Too bad firing him is simply closing the barn door after the horse is long gone.
βThat custom has been broken repeatedly, by both parties, whenever the majority has had the will to break it. In 1949, Vice President Alben Barkley disregarded the parliamentarian on cloture. In 1967 and 1969, Vice President Hubert Humphrey did the same. In 1975, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, presiding over the Senate, simply ignored Parliamentarian Floyd Riddickβs advice on filibuster reform and ruled in favor of the majorityβs preferred procedure.β
Three VPs taking action on this specific matter. That raises the question of what circumstances must be in place for the VP to take action?
The Byrd Rule and instituting a parliamentarian as an umpire, takes responsibility off Senators who voters expect to debate the issues before the American people. Ai would be a better, nonpartisan replacement for the work Elizabeth MacDonough is doing.

So true! She must GO.

Make her extremely recognizable and make everyone mad at her. Make it uncomfortable for her to live in this country!

Why are we allowing RINOS, especially one affiliated with the scum-sucking dead Harry Reid, make any decisions for us?

Except that AI is hardly nonpartisan. This person should have been shown the door years ago. She is a rino/deep state shield, as is Leader Thune.
