In other words, according to Mr. Norquist’s interpretation of the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, lawmakers have the technical leeway to bring in as much as $4 trillion in new tax revenue — the cost of extending President George W.

So it doesn’t violate the pledge? “We wouldn’t hold it that way,” he said.
