Reconciliation is an established practice and has been used for numerous pieces of legislation, including the Bush Tax Cuts. The R's had no problem with it then.
The R's are total hypocrites. They wanted to use the NO over some freaking judicial appointments. It was fine for them then.
But then again, we can't expect Breitbart to be listing facts, can we?
