shite like that sounds like a good idea today but as soon as the democrats take back power, they will ram everything down our throats and we will be forced to like it. frick that! Play by the rules, get shite done by the rules.


Dems will do this anyways


And requiring a standing filibuster is within current rules. It doesnt eliminate the filibuster

Why would Thune write this?


Because he really wants Trump's endorsement. If I was in Texas I would be voting Ken Paxton.

Is that enough to get us over the edge? I saw Murkowski of Alaska was a no.

Cornyn is just playing political optics. He knows it's not going to pass and is now going to be public like he really wanted it to pass. He is just trying to make it appear he was all in on passing the Save act so he can use that in his campaign.

I mean, name bigger bills overseeing state-run elections from the federal government? Also noted that Republicans consdered the VRA a travesty against state's rights for decades.

I'm not even against passing the bill. But it is... what it is.

Trump needs to attach getting rid of Thune first before any signing.

Thune has played his hand a bit too long. Time to fold. MAGA will request his exit stage left. No more Kabuki Theater.

They don't need to change a single rule to require a standing filibuster.


If both sides of the aisle were doing their jobs, no filibuster at all would be necessary. The bill should pass with a veto proof majority. But no
