Reply #130: That would be equivalent to nuking the filibuster. While there are good arguments for and against [View All]

nuking the filibuster (just in terms of the goal of maximizing progressive policy and minimizing conservative policy), that is an entirely different question. Once the precedent is set that reconciliation can include anything, there is no more filibuster, so that is a separate topic.

This thread is not about nuking the filibuster. This thread is about whether the public option can pass under reconciliation, under the current rules of reconciliation and the filibuster. You not only claim it can -- you say that anyone who says otherwise is lying. Yet as the article clearly shows, it is you that is posting information that is false.
