Rachel Bovard(@rachelbovard):Blaming the parliamentarian is always a crutch. She is a staffer. She advises the Senate. The Senate is not bound to her advice or guidance; the Senate can choose to accept it, or not. The Chair -- not the parliamentarian -- ultimately rules, and the Senate can either confirm or appeal that ruling.
