        They did it in 2016 when they wanted to confirm a justice by exempting that issue specifically. Maybe they’ll invent a loophole for themselves

        Republicans don’t give a single shit about “norms”, which tbf is their only respectable quality. This wouldn’t be unprecedented either, since in the past they eliminated filibustering for passing the government budget (which is why the parliamentarian was able to block the minimum wage increase, because the parliamentarian decides what is and isn’t part of the “budget” and the dems tried to pass the minimum wage through the budget).
