You fail to realize that the rules only apply when they are in the minority.

Your title says they were talking about reconciliation and you make the same false claim in your post but the link you supply CLEARLY says "nuclear option" and that's what the article is about.

Thanks, Kennyrose. Native Americans would call this "speak with forked tongue". Trying to pass major legislation with a 51% vote in the Senate, versus the 60% vote required by Senate rules, is not ok when you're in the minority, but is fine when you're in the majority. I get it...
