Rand Paul: "I will not be the deciding vote against this. I promise you that. If I'm the deciding vote against this, they'll negotiate with me. Right now they're not negotiating with me because they don't think they need me."

Has this bill been reviewed and approved by the Parliamentarian? An awful lot of this seems to be outside of what is allowed in reconciliation bills which are supposed to apply only to taxes and spending. Or does that not happen until just before the final vote?
