President Obama – concerned that ObamaCare might be defunded — is ranting that “The budget process shouldn’t be used to advance a social agenda.”
And, I haven’t heard any pundits call him on the obvious hypocrisy:
ObamaCare was passed using a Senate scheme called “reconciliation” so that it could be passed by a simple majority.
You may remember Harry Reid wrangling with the Senate parliamentarian over the rules.
You see, by Senate rules, reconciliation can ONLY be applied to budget matters.
Somehow, ObamaCare was ruled to be a budget matter requiring only a simple majority.
I guess ObamaCare isn’t a social agenda item when it’s passed, only when it’s being defunded.
Go figure …
