[Fullduplexxx]

And if that's the case doesn't it have to go back to the senate for 60 votes?

1. Silly person. There are no rules any more.

6. Except they did follow the rulings of the parliamentarian and rewrote the bill. Nt

4. How did the changes made to the bill violate the Byrd rule?

The changes made to appease Murkowski had to go through the parliamentarian. Some initial proposals were rejected. The ones that were included were approved by the parliamentarian.

5. The original bribe did violate the Byrd rule

Because it only covered Alaska and Hawaii, so the parliamentarian rejected it.

They rewrote the bribe to include, IIRC, 10 states with the most rural hospitals, and the parliamentarian allowed it.
