Why is even Bernie playing by rigged Senate rules?

Yes, Bernie made a good case that the $15 minimum wage meets the requirements of the Byrd Rule so that it can be in the Reconciliation Bill. But why are Democrats, including Bernie, accepting the Byrd Rule in the first place when they can easily overrule it? And why is TYT just accepting it as necessary too?

They instead need to report on how we override the Byrd Rule to get what we want in a Reconciliation Bill. The Parliamentarian only advises the President of the Senate. The latter can overrule that advice. In that case it requires 60 Senators to overrule the President's decision and they don't have the votes. It's time for Dems to play legislative hardball. Why they are not in this case is indefensible.

BTW: The conservative National Review even acknowledges that this procedure is part of Senate Rules. But they claim that it would be atrocious to use it to overrule Byrd. This hypocrisy is ludicrous since the Repugs have made a mockery of any Senate rule that gets in their way to what they want.
