I used too think the turtle establishment wing was using the SAVE Act as leverage...
Why does the GOPe share the same immigration policies with democrats that cause them to lose to democrats?
Why does the GOPe not want to save America with the simplicity of voter ID?
We know their pockets are lined, we know they are Crooks in suits. But exactly why do they repulse at the Save America Act?
It's a big club.

So….. You won’t let them spy on Americans unless we get ‘free and fair’ elections? What a bizarre time we live in.

So that gracious concession speech Coryn gave on election night was truly an act... and he was privately seething and pissed as hell. Good, makes me enjoy that speech even more, knowing he was dying inside and probably a split second away from breaking character and throwing the podium across the stage in a fit.

I just listened to Bannon podcast with Mike Davis. FISA will still be in full effect until 3/2027 even without an affirmative vote now. So this hand wringing is performative.

Trump Links FISA Renewal and Intelligence Nominee to Stalled Voter ID Bill
Last updated
9 minutes ago
Trump declared he won't sign the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act's Section 702 renewal—vital for foreign surveillance that recently lapsed—unless paired with the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of U.S. citizenship like a passport or birth certificate for federal voter registration and photo ID to vote. He also paused a confirmation hearing for nominee Jay Clayton to lead intelligence agencies until action on the bill, which passed the House but stalled in the Senate due to Democratic filibusters needing 60 votes. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the linkage unrealistic amid national security needs, while conservatives online demanded his replacement and Sen. Mike Lee pushed for a talking filibuster to force progress.

It's a good play by Trump and possibly the best play he can run.
But I just wish the GOPe wasn't a spineless group of bought-and-paid-for Establishment sock puppets. They have the capability, easily and right now, to tell FISA to F-off into oblivion and to ram through the SAVE Act.
I think they'll just go without FISA until Trump is gone instead of passing the SAVE Act, or Trump will cave and sign off on FISA anyway.

Filibuster.

Filibuster
They've had the option, but have refused to follow through.
Hell, the Senate has stayed in session literally since Trump took office just to avoid the potential for recess appointments. These people are the lowest common denominator of humanity.

Cornyn will never budge on the SAVE Act, so we get to sunset FISA as a consolation prize.
I consider this a win.

Dump FISA and pass the Save Act.

They didn't fall into a trap, they walked into it with their eyes wide open.

Perhaps it's because a lot of them rely on illegal labor for their "business" such as MTG is suspected of doing with her construction company?
