"I don't think Republicans in the House understood the significance of it," Sessions said. "It's a rule that would only impact the Senate."
Sessions was referring to a "point of order" rule that requires 60 votes when a bill proposes spending beyond what is allowed by the Budget Control Act -- even when it is offset by taxes or fees. Sessions said he has used that point of order three times already to block Democrats "from spending more and taxing more." Under the deal brokered by Ryan and Murray, only a simple majority would be needed.
And Sessions said this loophole may, in the future, allow for spending increases larger than the ones he has already blocked."So much The House knows that isn't so."
They played into the hands of the Libs to weaken the Senate--MORE!
