Enough is enough! The Senate's unprecedented move to flout the rules is a complete disregard for the rule of law and allows any majority to do whatever it wants whenever they like. It is a bold and blatant lie to call a $4 TRILLION tax cut for the rich the "budget baseline" and will result in the d
