This is the quiet scandal no one wants to admit: the Constitution never changed—Congress did. The NVRA didn’t expand the electorate, but it handcuffed verification and let confusion harden into orthodoxy. For thirty years, critics hid behind process while pretending enforcement itself was unlawful. The SAVE Act blows that dodge apart. It doesn’t defy courts; it answers them. It doesn’t disenfranchise voters; it enforces a rule everyone claims to support. Citizenship isn’t a suggestion, and elections aren’t a trust fall. If Congress created the mess, Congress can clean it up. Anything less is legislative cowardice dressed as caution.
And a dodge is exactly what Senators like Grassley are doing, and not just with the Save Act.
He’s the insisting on allowing the BS Blur slips which are torpedoing Trump’s nominees!
The Senate leadership and elders like him, Collin’s Thune and a whole bunch more have got to either get with the program or get the hell out of the way!
"To impose a sudden documentary requirement, even one aligned with constitutional principles, risks litigation chaos, administrative disruption, and confusion among lawful voters."
And that is why laws must be given very careful consideration and not be implemented based on making things easier but consider the ramifications of what a new law will have.
But it simply makes sense that a non-citizen should not have a vote in how the nation is governed. Does anyone believe that if an American went to another country and was not a citizen and a proposed law effected the citizens of that country detrimentally that it was fair for that person to have a vote? Of course not so why should it be different in the U.S.?
Thank you for that clear and concise explanation! Your interpretations always, always provide clarity on the important issues before We, the People. Hopefully, all Senators read this so they also can understand the true concept behind the SAVE Act.
Shocking that Grassley opposes SAVE given all the shenanigans in Minnesota and the thousands of mail-in ballots with no chain of custody in swing states. It is patently obvious that allowing the flood of illegal immigrants was an attempt to import a new client class of voters. Grassley needs to wake up to the fact that we are in the midst of a soft civil war and to vote accordingly.
Originally, only landowners were allowed to vote, and women were not. We need to return to those days. Renters vote on property tax issues, raising costs for landlords, who then stop doing upkeep on their properties, and wine-guzzling, emotion-driven women are skewing logical voting.
But how many 'valid IDs' have been issued to illegal immigrants? Hundreds of thousands would be my bet... driver's licenses should no longer be considered valid ID to register to vote.
We do this NOW or never. With eight states that claim to be sanctuary states, we know where the problems lie in passing this act. Of course they will fight it in courts. Do we want an America operating in the same abominable way that Minnesota does? It is time to call out the corruption as tax paying citizens lose their voting rights and are disenfranchised due to fraudulent voting by noncitizens.
Part of the problem in my state is “motor voter” registration. When you get a driver’s license, they check your residence and supposedly citizenship/residence documentation. That documentation can be a billing for electricity. You are then automatically eligible to vote and ballots are sent to the address listed on the license.
A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.” With these words written by Chief Justice Marshall, the Supreme Court for the first time declared unconstitutional a law passed by Congress and signed by the President. Nothing stated in the Constitution gave the Court this specific power. Marshall, however, believed that the Supreme Court should have a role equal to those of the other two branches of government .

Common sense is an alien concept to Democrats and RINOs - deliberately.
Good juxtaposition Elaine. I think we can agree, the law has been ignored when it comes to "illegals" voting. Congress needs to act.
Providing birth certificate or citizenship documentation verification is about as straight forward as you can get. Do that.

Agree Kurt. WTHECK happened to Senator Grassley?????

Well, maybe no proof of citizenship. OK 👍 I get it. However, at the end of the day we better have valid ID and active in person voting.
I think the fraud that has gone on with the voting sham needs to be totally straightened out🙏
And you know if it has to be a passport or federal stamp on your ID that needs to come in to play🗳️✅
But how many 'valid IDs' have been issued to illegal immigrants? Hundreds of thousands would be my bet... driver's licenses should no longer be considered valid ID to register to vote.
America citizens period zero committees zero court case zero drama 🙏🙏🙏 = Zero for control Freaks

Get this to Grassley, and the other 7 Republicans. Murkowski, Collins, Rand Paul, Thune and the other 2 .
As I read your explanation, Alexander, (from England ) it's registration that does not require proof of citizenship, not the actual casting of a vote.

Grassley is a RINO. He also took kickbacks from Venezuela. He needs to retire and let a patriot take his senate seat.
The federal law is null n void.
