Oh that wacky Bill Clinton.

There's the fussy rule about budget deficits as part of the parliamentarian, right? So not waiting for an official CBO score is effectively eliminating the parliamentarian from the process, which is effectively killing the filibuster. Neat.

Well, I hope that Heller can find a good private sector job.

Heller is a goner no matter what he does now.

Does he want to loose by a couple of points or double digits is the question. If he thinks he has a chance with the first one, he will vote no. Otherwise he's going down with the ship.

This whole thing is a mess. We need to push Heller in voting no on this bill.

Under budget reconciliation and the Byrd rule, I don't believe there is anything specific requiring a CBO estimate. It can be a CBO estimate or an estimate "from other sources". So they could float an HHS estimate and its up to the parliamentarian to accept that estimate or not. If the parliamentarian says no - the big question becomes whether they overrule or not. Pence or Hatch would have to do that and they could.
Moran was against it once it was determined the bill wasn't going up for a vote.

How many people were at this meeting?
Why would Priebus be at this meeting? He was at the RNC, not on the campaign.
Because McConnell and Ryan were busy and couldn't make it.

How many GOP Congresspeople and Senators are there? Add those up.
Throw in the governors too.

Posted in the other thread having to do with the Hawaii judge narrowing the travel ban to include grandparents..
Of course, Sessions taking it to the Supreme Court...
So the SCOTUS has to decide if a grandparent is a "close family member" or a "bona fide" relationship. Gee, that's a toughy!
....but first the DOJ had to file paperwork to take it to (wait for it) the 9th circuit.

Looks like GMT's 1960: The Making of the President is finally coming to stores. If you like Twilight Struggle or politically charged board games, this one is supposed to be pretty engaging.
Trump Sr. might actually be in the shit if it turns out he was there.

So is Collins the only public firm no right now, then?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'm starting to get mildly nervous about the health care bill. Not to the point where I think it will pass, but to where I wouldn't be surprised if it does after Price throws out imaginary numbers.
Yes, I believe so. I don't think Paul has said anything yet.

Assuming he was there: the best thing about it would be that they couldn't keep that off the radar forever. And the fact that they didn't come right out and say so will look *horrible*.
That's assuming he was there. I personally think so (from the tweet right after) and if so, I look forward to the spinning that will ensue.
Pretty sure that was just edited in.

Getting harder to believe that it was a big 'nothing.' The thing that gets me the most about the Trump's story is this:
If you believe them 100% on this, then you have to believe that:
1) A trusted family friend's publicist made up a tall tale to get a meeting with the Trump campaign's most senior advisers.
2) That when the meeting turned out to be a big 'nothing,' they didn't think to say ANYTHING to the FBI, Donald Trump OR the Agalarovs (the most powerful ppl in Russia, per Trump).
3) That they were being briefed about the Russian hack, and they never thought back "GEE WHIZ remember that weird meeting we all took?" and said NOTHING.
It just makes no sense. Goldstone should've been fired on June 2016 if you are to believe the Trump's version of event. No way they don't call the Agalarovs about being set up by their manager.

At least Paul is somewhat principled (sometimes). A true believer in minimum government should be upset by the BCRA.

How long does it usually take for these lawsuits against the administration to be heard?
We hear about how lawsuits keep showing up, but do we have any idea on when they'll be heard and when rulings are issued?
The courts worked fast with the travel ban, how can they not work fast with this?
Is there anyone with knowledge of this stuff that can fill me in?
