It-s attached to a budget bill? Great. But I thought they tried that already.

you can only attach fiscal matters to reconciliation bills (Byrd rule)

so you'd have to lose a lot of the language in the bill that makes it the SAVE Act as we know it currently

Yep, this time its the latest national security funding bill and with Trump about to make an announcement tomorrow about proof of the 2020 election being stolen (likely the 2 GA senate seats) caused by foreign adversaries then he'll tie this bill as absolutely necessary to be passed for purposes of national security. Pretty brilliant if you ask me.

Did they pass it in its original form or a watered down version?

Looks like we have another “True believer” of the MSM and their propaganda.

I guess you’re ok with fraud of your tax dollars and the illusion of free and fair elections, just as long as you can live in your little bubble and pretend they’re not placing you in a digital prison.

It’s already overwhelmingly popular amongst the general public. The only people who hate it also hate the idea of this country I’m not exaggerating.

It could still be done. And it hasn't been done. Period.

Ok, let’s see who keeps it from passing in the senate

Collins, Murkowski, McTurtle, Massie and maybe another or two.

Passing the SAVE Act would force the spineless GOPe to actually do their jobs and LEAD, as opposed to playing their designated roles as controlled opposition. They won't have it.

I don't know why people are getting their hopes up only to be crushed and bleed all over the board again, like every other time this bill has been punted. I'm not saying to stop calling and emailing your Senators to ensure that they know the will of their constituents, but I'm saying to just expect the same results that we've been getting and then if it actually is codified we will have a real reason to celebrate. This legislation would be the crown jewel of both of Trump's terms, and there's no evidence that this current incarnation of the GOPe wants to give him a win of that magnitude. If/when this gets punted to November, it's basically dead.

Can the comptroller at the GAO kick it out of the bill for any specific reason?

Correct.
The Senate parliamentarian will strike it from the bill.

I'll get killed for this, but I'm hearing that something has changed with Thune since Lindsey Graham died, and they are saying that the Senate will pass the Save Act with Susan Collins being the 50th vote and J.D. Vance being the 51st vote.


Dr Turley said they are gonna attach it to the security appropriations with Collin’s being vote 50
