Good article. Time to nuke the filibuster regardless of the save act

Bet some of the 20 million find a way to do all sorts of ID related things including cigarettes alcohol fly bank etc. You canโ€™t function in society w/o an ID. Marxist libs need to put this to rest.

Is there any concern that some 20 million Americans do not have the ID needed and so will be disenfranchised? Or the married women who will have to prove their different name? All to stop a very tiny amount of non-citizens voting?

20 million? Oh you mean illegal aliens

skbunny's avatar

No, Many Citizens do not have easy access to a certified Birth Certificate, or Passport , etc.

Citizen Bitcoin's avatar

because they are not citizens, duh

skbunny's avatar

Actually, No. Many citizens will have a hard time getting the various Certified documents required and paying for them.

Demoncrats talking pointsโ€ฆ

And there is nothing showing any level of non citizens voting. It's all smoke.

Citizen Bitcoin's avatar

Then the save act will not affect the fraud operation

skbunny's avatar

So all voters have or can easily get proper ID? Certified Birth Certificates, Certified marriage certificates, no problems?

Citizen Bitcoin's avatar

Obviously the dead voters canโ€™t renew their license

How long did it take for Obama to get a fake social security number and birth certificate?

Goodness, there is no arguing with 'alternative facts.'

Very well done. I contacted my Senators., Ernst & Grassley You can call or email. We all should see this as a critical issue.

This is the moment of truth for John Thune. Either he governs under the rules as writtenโ€”or he proves heโ€™s just another Washington hall monitor hiding behind a fake 60-vote myth. The filibuster is not a veto. Itโ€™s a stamina test. If Democrats want to block the SAVE Act, let them stand, speak, sweat, and explain why election integrity terrifies them. No more procedural theater. No more โ€œwe tried.โ€ An up-or-down vote means forcing debate into the open and staying on the floor until it breaks. If Thune punts to cloture, heโ€™s not constrainedโ€”heโ€™s complicit. This is a litmus test: restore majority rule, or admit the Senate is run on cowardice and convenience.

Very informative post - thank you.

Personally, I find it a laziness that they use it. How convenient. That's why so little gets done.

President Trump has to call in Leader Thune and explain to him that he must abolish the 'Zombie Filibuster' or he will face the wrath of all MAGA-dom.

BTW, Jeff Childers of Coffee and Covid has been discussing the Silent (Zombie) Filibuster for weeks now.

Ken France's avatar

Leader Thune. Thatโ€™s a good one.

sandy picard's avatar

They will NOT do it. The Republicans do not care. They do not support Trump. They do not support US. End of message.

John Wygertz's avatar

Hey, a standing filibuster takes effort. Just ask Corey Booker.

That's why they don't want to do it. Diapers are embarrassing.

Pnoldguy's avatar

So, the only obstacle to passing the SAVE act is ......... Thune himself!

Kathleen Goble's avatar

Excellent article, Alexander. It's a must-read!

Senator Thune needs to lead, grow a spine, and do what 78% of the country wants.

Ruth H's avatar

Actually with CNN numbers, of all places, itโ€™s more like 85%
