Why do you need a filibuster if they can't get 50 votes?

The "MAGA silliness" here started after the 2020 election, so that poisoned the entire discussion around this subject.
Then you have the violation of basic conservative principles (states rights) by MAGA.
Just own it for once.

No. A state cannot violate the Constitution like that.

Ad hom probably isn’t the best place to start.

Does the federal government have precedent and legal standing to regulate elections for federal office?

Did you miss the whole "The Steal" stuff? It's still going on today, continuing to marginalize the non-left

The federal government has all sorts of power to encroach on states.
That's why it's a principle of conservatism to fight that.
Leftists want to give fedgov more power and decrease states rights.

"He needs to be removed"!!!!!.....to be replaced with one just like him.
Thinking that removing these people from office is always the answer is a losing strategy. How about investigate these criminals!

What does that have to do with your choice to begin with ad hom attacks?

I didn’t say, “does the federal government overreach here?” I said, “do the feds have legal precedent, as in court reviewed and determined to be constitutional precedent?”

Either craft more palatable legislation, don't poison otherwise palatable legislation with MAGA silliness, or have Trump act as a dealmaker to craft legislation that can pass (Something he's been very weak on his 5+ years as President)
Predictably vague yet still disappointing.
You are like my wife. You don't know what you want for dinner. But you damn sure don't want "that."

I don't want any legislation that's going to expand federal power and barely see the need for most legislation from DC these days (we need to repeal laws).
But we weren't talking about what I want

Sure we were
The question is how do you avoid a war amomgst Republicans. Your answer left even you wanting I think.

Nothing. I misquoted text. This was supposed to be the quoted text

I answered that question, and then added in a relevant commentary on the response.
What does their ability to potentially do so matter when we're talking about Republican principles?

“Don’t sign any legislation until the SAVE act is voted on”
Also this board
“Thune is intentionally causing this act to fail by voting on it!!!”

So there’s no MAGA silliness in the bill. Only feelings.

At least to my understanding, Republican principles put an emphasis on limiting federal overreach that extends beyond the powers legitimately granted to the them via the constitution. If it’s a legitimate, constitutional role of the federal government, Republican principles don’t contradict that.
Seeing as how the constitution has the Elections Clause in Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1, it would seem to be constitutional for the feds to offer some regulation in federal elections.
