The decision by the Senate’s rules arbiter is a blow to congressional Democrats and the White House, who viewed the legislation as their best chance this Congress to enact immigration reform. Democrats argued that providing green cards to Dreamers, essential workers, farmworkers and those with Temporary Protected Status would affect the federal budget and thus complied with Senate rules. Lawmakers and advocates have vowed to offer alternative arguments to the parliamentarian.
I don't remember voting for this parliamentarian.
Why isn’t the parliamentian overruled. Never heard of a parliamentarian when Mitch McConnell ran the Senate!!
I'm glad this happened , it would have angered all Americans had it taken place, Te Democrats have been betraying the American people just to stay in power for decades, Nancy Pelosi works for her bank account not the American people
Literally doesn't matter
Just found out the Senate parliamentarian is there to make sure Congress is following the rules. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Bigger problem? Why doesn’t Congress know how to write a bill that follows the rules?
We have to stop this excuse right now. Repeat all over social media. The President can overrule the Parliamentarian The Vice President can overrule the Parliamentarian JoeBiden and KamalaHarris do your f---ing jobs and stop hiding behind this lie
The pathway to citizenship starts at not illegally crossing the border
very interesting
Good thing the parliamentarian has 0 power.
Who buys this storyline? They might as well forfeit their right to vote.
A msg to all the shtlibs and republicans. The parliamentarian can and MUST BE OVERRULED
The Parliamentarian did exactly what the Democratic Party wanted them to do. Their donors want to give immigrants a path out of country. It’s past time we accept Democrats only serve billionaires. They chose to let us die to save the economy. Expect nothing from Democrats.
Why are Democrats just so bad at everything?
1. Democrats will do nothing in 2021, lose their majority in 2022 2. Fascist Trump will return to power in 2024. 3. 2024+ Young Americans will vote for Socialists, not capitalist Democrats
The Senate Parliamentarian does NOT RULE. They ADVISE. It’s unconstitutional to have one person overrule the Senate. Consequently, Kamala can overrule the Parliamentarian, and the Senate can do whatever the majority wants. FIX YOUR TITLE. It’ll sound so different.
Meanwhile, the Fox crowd revels in the “crisis” that Haitians have gathered to seek asylum, Biden works to send them home, and US Border agents whip them from horseback and tell them to “go back to Mexico.” No good news for anyone today.
'Ruled' is not what happened. They dont have that power. Its advisory. Ffs, stop misinforming the people. Its literally your only job.
Follow the rules just like every other generation before. No special treatment for illegals. Dems want more votes. This is a way to get it. 🤬😡
This is hilarious. Democrats do not want to do anything their big money donors don't like, so they've made this unelected position that could be easily overruled the fall guy for EVERYTHING. How pathetic.
Fix America first. Close the borders. I don't care which Americans have or don't have a shot. If you have it, good for you! Those that don't, shouldn't affect those that do. 🤷 Again, close the borders till America is safe. Stop the flood of illegals that are not vacinated.
VOTE BLUE 2022! 🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳👏👏👏👏👏🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Watch a whole ton of people suddenly have an opinion about a parliamentarian when if most of us are honest we realize they could have just made that up and we wouldn’t know any better.
That pesky parliamentarian up to their old tricks
The Parliamentarian only functions in an advisory position. The legislators are not obligated to accept their advice Democrats pander to the needs of the American people, while they empower the obstruction of the Parliamentarian
Good, as it should be.
oh welp, guess there's nothing to be done then. Dems tried!
The audience must watch closely at the Disappearing Spending Bill trick! Voila! No more Bill! Just more political theater for the masses.
Hire a new parliamentarian or you just don't want to represent the people. Stop this
If only Joe Biden had run for Senate Parliamentarian. /s
When does this parliamentarian come up for election next. Oh wait...
Naturalizing illegals is good policy. Forces them to follow the law, pay taxes and gives them benifitd and means they can't undercut the labor market. But if this ends up being the sacrificial lamb for the rest of the bill, I wouldn't mind so lonf as the rest of it passes.
😂 Parliamentarian says NO
It’s a good thing that the parliamentarian doesn’t have any actual power and can be overruled.
Ignore or replace them, like the gop would and has Please give a single fuck about what we elected you for. Jesus christ.
As you can see, voting for democrats does absolutely nothing. STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS!
And? He can be overruled. Lol
So a unelected person has this kind of power
Once again, rotating the villain. It's: The GOP The Courts The Parliamentarian ✅ The House GOP The Senate GOP Joe Manchin Kirsten Sinema Mitch McConnell Russia! China
Any Excuse for Not Helping The People Rinse & Repeat
scapegoat for Biden bait & switch.
Your daily reminder that the U.S. Senate is an anti-democratic institution. It needs to change or it needs to go.
Stop racism against legal immigration DV2021
Wtf is a senate parliamentarian? You just made that up- we never discussed this in civics class!
lol! And Democrats already knew this would happen 🤦🏻♀️
Elizabeth McDonough….ruled?
Funny thing is we don’t even have a parliament.
marianne_levine maybe you could have written that the Parliamentarian only offers guidance, is not elected, and can be ignored rather than implying the policy can now not move forward. Very misleading
So how many of you upset about this are gonna line up to provide housing or jobs for any of those 8 million. None. Also gonna be funny when 6 of those 8 million vote republican and not dem...
It’s only a recommendation the Democrats can ignore it
They purposely bundled climate programs with immgrants two pass it why isnt anyone talking about this❓
🤦
Is anyone actually buying this crap?
The parliamentarian can be overruled. Dems better be careful.
The Senate parliamentarian can be fired or overruled
Good. This is obviously the right call, and those saying otherwise are being disingenuous.
Hey - parliamentarians don’t rule. They advise. Can’t blame the parliamentarians.
Good, deport them immediately
The majority of Americans don’t want it either.
Force her to the curb and do what the GOP does and appoint a Yes person. But… the Dems are too feckless to do the bare minimum. There are always excuses.
Looks like Joe Biden should have run for parliamentarian instead of the powerless office he chose
Oh no not the unelected parliamentarian that Dems can just fire 🤦🏽♀️
If you still vote blue after the Dems allow this repeat stunt of a non-elected advisor controlling the entire Senate then you are the sheep. vote3rdparty
Are you going to call out that it's bullshit? The parliamentarian isn't elected, can be fired or ignored but better yet Kamala can drag her ass out and make the deciding vote.
Susan Sarandon should have appointed a better parliamentarian god darn it.
Can't they just fire the parliamentarian, and find someone more flexible? I don't believe such a position is protected by the constitution, or did I miss something?
Seriously, the parlimentarian should sit down and shut the fuck up. Or abolish this unneeded position.
so its absolutely pointless to vote for democrats.
I didn’t vote for her.
There is literally NO REASON to pretend this shit show is a democracy.
The Senate is an undemocratic anachronism.
Why don’t we take care of US citizens first
It’s advice. Ignore it. Just do it. Like Republicans would.
The 'Parliamentarian' is an unelected, *advisory* role. It has zero constitutional power. Unfortunately just like the $15mw, Biden/Harris will hide behind this opinion to pretend like they are powerless to get this done.
I want to be Senate parliamentarian when I grow up
Just a reminder to all the liberals that the parliamentarian is not an elected position can be easily overruled and fired. Republicans fired them when it was convenient and Democrats easily could. But wont for some reason...almost like like they arent an obstacle in any way
SenSchumer if you can’t lead, get out if the way.
And of course, Democrats, are going to hide behind this rule. Because they don’t have the courage, to do what’s right. 🤦♂️
Well the DNC has one again spun the wheel to see who the chosen rotating villain will be this week as roadblock to policy that a majority of Americans support. Sorry Manchin and Sinema. This week it’s the parlimentarian’s job to F us all. Do better democrats. It’s embarrassing
Creating a pathway to citizenship has nothing to do with infrastructure. This was a cheap way for Democrats to stick it in to the infrastructure bill in order not to have to fight for a immigration bill.
Shame, Shame, Shame!! 😡 ImmigrationReformNow Dreamers ItsTimeForDreamers
lol they’re really going to keep doing this?
Providing green cards to undocumented immigrants means that they could start paying taxes, so the the plan would definitely have a budgetary impact. Furthermore, isn’t it in our national security interests to know where all these millions of undocumented people live!?
notice how the parliamentarian is irrelevant when Democrats pass their 750$ military budget or fund cops but the literal moment a very modest good thing is suggested NOPE WE CAN'T OVERRIDE THIS POWERLESS BUREAUCRAT SHE IS MIGHTIER THAN GOD
if only they were an unelected position with no power that could be fired and overruled by the VP at any moment! If only....
Massive. Lol. Y’all are trying.
good
Does not mean shit
Who is that all powerful human being ruling over us
Doesn’t. Fucking. Matter.
A parliamentarian’s ruling would not have stopped Mitch McConnell.

DV2021 Please save us POTUS
This is so fn stupid I don't remember school house doing a parliamentarian song.
“Amnesty” is something both parties dangle over our exploited 21st century version of slave labor our economy depends on but refuses to properly compensate because we all like our wealth and cheap stuff.
Providing green cards to undocumented immigrants means that they could start paying taxes, so the the plan would definitely have a budgetary impact. Furthermore, isn’t in our national security interests to know where all these millions of undocumented people live!?
Good decision. A solid immigration plan needs to happen all by itself with both House and Senate approval. Long overdue. Let’s go to work on it and get it done. Vote in 2022
weird how this position was virtually unheard of until it came time for democrats to back down on their promises
Pillow fights are hilarious. Thumbs up 👍🏾
