The communist Democrats are on the war path after nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough said amnesty for illegals can’t be a part of the Commiecrat’s “budget bill”. Some on the left are calling for Elizabeth MacDonough to be fired too. This is what the communist Democrats are. The funny thing is, Elizabeth MacDonough was appointed by communist Democrats in 2012 when they controlled the Senate. Under the bus Liz.
Greisa Martinez Rosas, executive director of the progressive United We Dream Action, said groups will decide which candidates to support in upcoming elections based on “not how hard the Democrats tried or how they went down fighting, but whether or not they delivered.”
Another advocate seemingly suggested that Senate Democrats should fire MacDonough if she doesn’t allow their immigration language. “If at the end of the day they’ve exhausted every option and the parliamentarian is a ‘no,’ she is not an elected official,” said Lorella Praeli, co-president of Community Change Action, a progressive group.
Menendez said during that same call that he understands advocates’ “view and their passion” but challenged whether firing MacDonough would be “constructive.” He suggested Schumer might not have the 51 Senate votes he would need to do that.
Asked separately if Democrats should simply vote to ignore MacDonough’s ruling, No. 2 Senate Democratic Leader Richard Durbin of Illinois told reporters, “I don’t believe that’s realistic. I think the votes needed on the floor are not there.”
MacDonough was appointed when the chamber was controlled by Democrats nine years ago.
One alternative discussed among Democrats would involve updating the so-called registry date in existing law that lets migrants who arrived previously, and meet other conditions, become permanent residents.
