VIDEO: DAMNING VIDEO OF ROBERT BYRD ON RECONCILIATION

The process of Reconciliation, otherwise known as the Byrd rule - named after Democrat Senator Robert Byrd - was designed to circumvent the filibuster-proof 60-vote super majority by ending debate on budgetary matters in a bill. As we all know, the election of Scott Brown took away that super majority for the Democrats, who have declared they will use Reconciliation to pass the health care bill.

In order for the Senate to logistically be able to use Reconciliation, the House must sign off on the Senate Bill without making changes - an increasingly higher hurdle the longer the process drags on.

But what about the spirit of the Byrd Rule? That depends on who you ask but how about this video of none other than Robert Byrd himself in April of 2001, in which he recounts a conversation he had with Bill Clinton over the phone regarding the latter's attempt to use Reconciliation to pass HillaryCare in 1993.

Wouldn't you love to see Robert Byrd get this worked up about Harry Reid using his Rule to ram ObamaCare through?
