Probably wasn't asked.
My guess is because then they would have to vote and then it would pass. But they don't want it to pass. So they would have to go on record and vote no and be exposed for the frauds they are. Or go the easy route and "claim" they don't have the votes and not put it on the floor so they don't have to expose themselves

Ok, this makes more sense than Thune did.

I know people don’t like to hear this, but the talking filibuster, it takes you back basically to the 1800s.
Hey ChatGPT, what is the most recent clear-cut, old-school instance of the talking filibuster being used in the US Senate?
quote:
Chris Murphy’s gun control filibuster (2016)
Date: June 15–16, 2016
Duration: ~14 hours, 50 minutes
Purpose: Force votes on gun control measures after the Orlando nightclub shooting
Type: Genuine talking filibuster (held the floor continuously to delay Senate business tied to legislation)
?? He explicitly said he would speak “for as long as I can” to block proceedings until leadership agreed to act.
Outcome:
Senate leaders agreed to hold votes on two gun-related measures
Murphy then yielded the floor and ended the filibuster

John Thune needs the Charles Sumner treatment.

Thune needs to go. He should be trying to make deal with all GOP senators to get this done

Thune has touched some kids and there are pictures. He didnt just cheat on his wife. He's done something that would put him in prison and is being blackmailed. Sorry sack of shite.

This whole process has proven one thing. There has not been a single piece of meaningful legislation passed in probably 40 years.
For anything to get passed that makes any substantive changes, there wouldn't have been enough votes.
This means that the US Congress hasn't actually accomplished anything in any of our collective memories.

They don’t want to do it because the majority are illegitimate. Selected, not elected. Ds and Rs… the uniparty
