Over the weekend, Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that.Section 70302 of the Big Crappy bill runs afoul of the Byrd Rule and must be taken out of the package to allow it to pass with a simple majority vote on a special procedural fast track.
Essentially, Section 70302 would have made it difficult for federal judges to compel compliance from government employees by holding them in contempt of court for ignoring judicial rulings, especially if no security bond was required when the initial court order was issued.
A GOP attempt to authorize states to conduct immigration enforcement was also deemed irrelevant to the budget.
She also ruled against language in the bill that would increase the Federal Employees Retirement Systems contribution rate for new civil servants if they do not agree to give up civil service protections to become at-will employees.
Additionally, she advised against a section of the bill that would allow the executive branch to reorganize federal government agencies — or eliminate whole agencies — without congressional oversight.
