This is a nuclear option. Senate Rs want to violate the Byrd rule by creating long-term deficits, using 312 of the CBA to assert that they aren’t

But they know the parls will say they can’t do that

So Rs are refusing to meet w/ her so they can pretend they didn’t ignore her when they do it anyway

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).

So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.
NEWS — Senate R's refusing Dem request for a bipartisan meeting with the parliamentarian on using current policy baseline to pay for tax cuts. Budget Cmte GOP spox: "There is no need to have a parliamentarian meeting with respect to the current policy baseline because Section 312 of the Congressional Budget Act gives Graham — as Chairman of the Budget Committee — the authority to set the baseline. "There is nothing to debate and we consider this matter settled."
