GOP liars portray passing routine legislation under reconcilation rules as a standard part of the process when the gimmick is restricted to budgets and wasn't used for the first time until 1980

Now they want to make everything fall under reconciliation in order to make an end run around the filibuster. 

The Byrd Rule codified in 1990 makes legislation extraneous to the budget process, like the Save Act, ineligible for the process.
