But just because you have the right to do it does not mean it is the right thing to do.
I do not think that that is a violation of anything the founders had in mind, and I do think that is something that a member of the House could never, ever do.
the whole question of minority rights in the Senate is one of the most significant ones we can deal with, and the filibuster has changed over the years.
I would urge you to have conversations with whatever 'elves' within the administration you deal with, over at OMB, because I think that's where the decision was made.
