With CBO indicating it WON'T provide an analysis for weeks, there is now a possibility @SenateGOP WILL nuke the rules to pass #GrahamCassidy

Replying to @4everNeverTrump @SenateGOP

The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that #GrahamCassidy REQUIRES a CBO analysis to allow it to pass with 50 votes (reconciliation rules).

However, that's just a Senate rule. The Senate GOP nuked a rule to jam Gorsuch through; they can also do so with #GrahamCassidy.

Of course they will. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. Senate amendment to the bill the House ALREADY PASSED. They vote, Trump signs, you're dead.
