The following are two important, informative postings from two contributors to TownHall.
They are in regard to
1. the Senate parliamentarian, and her degree of authority in the Senate as to what can or cannot get passed;
2. John Thune, his deferment to the parliamentarian, and what he can or cannot do as Senate majority leader apart from her consent:
"The parliamentarian rulings are advisory and the Rs have the option to ignore them if they wish. Will cause a political fire storm but the rulings are advisory and do not have to be conformed to, it is only custom that leads to following them. Also the VP when acting as the president of the Senate can introduce a change to any ruling by the Parl. and a simple majority of the Senate can pass that, also Thune can do the same."
"Something worth asking - why does such a powerful position exist in the Senate? A parliamentarian is not established by the US Constitution and the Senate is not bound to anything the parliamentarian says or does.
The option exists to IGNORE her. She doesn't need to be replaced or eliminated (though perhaps she should be). The only thing necessary to pass Constitutional muster is that a majority of the Senate pass the bill, any bill. Even the filibuster can be ignored since it isn't even mentioned in the Constitution.
The parliamentarian exists only because the Senate created the position as an advisory role. When it becomes obvious she has more power than the elected Senators it's clear she needs to go.
John Thune - ignore her! Do you think if she ruled against the Democrats if they were in the majority Chuck Schumer would not proceed with a vote?"

This is a compelling video that discusses smart phone technology and artificial intelligence - its pursuit, verses its effect on human learning:

The question posed to various candidates as to whether they would be willing to put a "One year moratorium" on data centers in their area or state is a trick question, because if a person answers "yes" to the moratorium, it implies that they would be willing to allow for a data center after the moratorium has ended.
Thus the real question is not whether the public figure would support a moratorium, but whether that figure will honor the existing state and local constitution, its bylaws, codes and regulations, which seldom, if ever make provision for such development. If the rules do seem questionable, the question is whether they would be willing to tighten the rules to protect the citizenry.
