Eh??????

It's an institutional position of the Senate, a non-partisan position, expected to make honest, non-partisan rulings when any questions arise about interpreting the Sentae's regulations.

An officially non-partisan position, but APPOINTED BY THE MAJORITY PARTY.

[The Senate Parliamentarian and his deputies immerse themselves in the Senate's rules and precedents. It takes years of apprenticeship to sit in the Parliamentarian's chair.]

"thats the equivalent of saying George Washington is out of order."

I'm not sure what you are trying to say... are you claiming that ole George was something akin to a God, and that he never needed to obey a ruling from the Senate Parlimentarian, or was never mistaken... or are you saying that 'the rules are WHATEVER the leaders say they are, regardless of the text of the Senate rule book'?
