    IF the GOP does try to overrule Senate Parliamentarian, consider the precedent it sets. DEMS could do all sorta bad things w/ just 51 votes.

        The worst case scenario is you go nuclear & then can't get 50 votes. Would Collins Murkowski, Heller, et al. support what Cruz wants?

        No need to go nuclear, if parl's comments (reported by @SenMikeLee) are true & there are ways to draft in keeping w/ Byrd rule.

        I think most would agree that if in the same situation, DEMS would do the very same thing. Who are we kidding?

        Reid changed the Senate rules long ago and not once has he regretted it.
