Once Obama ignored the 60 vote filibuster to get Obamacare passed, the Senate 60 vote norm was broken.

@Einsteinbomb Budget reconciliation was supposed to be for spending, revenue, and the federal debt limit. Obama misused the process to pass Obamacare without the standard 60 votes the bill needed. This was considered a broken taboo at the time. However, once the taboo was broken, the respect for the 60 vote threshold disappeared for both parties. You can try to rewrite history but the facts are the facts.
