Guardian of the Constitution, hog wash. Good riddance. This has been a banner time for the right. First Kennedy the Drunk, now Byrd the Grand Wizard.
Robert Byrd, never passed up a plate of pork. That is how he stayed in office. Just like Chavez, give the desperately poor a few bucks, get them hooked on the federal heroin, stay in office forever.
The living end wasn't reached today, it was during the Christmas break and then in March.
The Byrd Rule- was added by said Robert Byrd, to the Rules of the Senate in 1995, stating a 51 vote reconciliation applied ONLY on budgetary reconciliation matters. The Nuclear Option, as it is now commonly called, was never designed to circumvent the filibuster. It was never to be a means to pass legislation or destroy the underpinnings of our system of checks and balances. When the opposition submitted motions calling the whole ObamaCare Bill unconstitutional due to the use of the Nuclear Option, Byrd prematurely rolled over in the grave he is yet to occupy, and voted it was constitutional.
Known to be able to recite the constitution verbatum, apparently Byrd was only using this as a cheap bar trick, because as far as upholding the constitution, his life made a mockery of it. From his first days as a Klu Klux Klan Grand Wizard, to his end days as a supporter of a usurper, and pre-rigamorti Obamacare stiff.
May Byrd lie in silence for eternity.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
The new President Pro Tempore of the Senate and third in line to the Presidency after Biden and Pelosi is Sen. Inouye, a Democrat allegedly born in Hawaii.
