Sen. Mike Lee: Debate SAVE America Act Until It Passes
Newsmax ^

Posted on 06/22/2026 7:53:33 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

"There are a couple ways to get there. One would be nuking the filibuster; that appears not likely to happen but the other way is to exhaust the other side, to continue to debate the bill until it passes."

Lee said the SAVE America Act is worth tying up the Senate floor until it is passed.

"And we'll stay through weekends. We'll stay through previously scheduled recesses if necessary, but we're going to stay on this bill until it passes," Lee added.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Makes perfect sense especially if one of the old-timers on the left collapses from exhaustion. Think of it as torture. As November gets closer the ability to conform to the new rules shrinks. Democrats are running the clock out hoping they'll get the upper hand soon.

It’s obvious our side is not serious. It makes one have more respect for the Harry Reid’s out there.

I would push for doing NOTHING ELSE in congress until this bill is finally pushed through, with no changes.

Make it a shut-down issue.

Yes, it's that critical.

Let's put Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis and Mitch McConnell in front of microphones and ask them what parts of the bill they might support.

Then break the bill into passable pieces

Then keep this going for iteration after iteration until the cows come home.

And, maybe we can bring Fetterman (and other Dems?) in on some of the pieces.

My two useless senatorettes prefer the ‘dream act’ (see drone plot on capital) to the SAVE Act.

“”””but the other way is to exhaust the other side, to continue to debate the bill until it passes.””””


Senator Lee is absolutely correct.

When the Senate was debating the SAVE ACT on daily basis in March 2026, the Democrats were being clobbered in the Court of Public Opinion.

The Senator Thune stepped in to SAVE his Democrat buddies by sending the Senators on an Easter vacation.

When the Senators returned from vacation, Thune continued to protect his Democrat buddies by not restarting the SAVE ACT debate.

There are a lot of freeloading bass turds milking this country who don’t want America to be “Great Again” or for Americans to “Save America.” The same old same old boyz. The far left has the GOP Senate goobers marching to THEIR cadence.

Every single Republican senator needs to be primaried and replaced, every one. Five top shelf issues exist that have never before happened with a party holding all three branches of government.

(1) Ignoring an 80% issue-Save Act
(2) Ignoring the President’s America First agenda
(3) Ignoring and failing to codify the President’s Executive Orders and nominees
(4)The continuation of the despicable and IMHO, traitorous ProForma scheme
(5) Failure to fire the dimocRAT Harry Reid appointed senate parliamentarian

The current crop of senators are worthless. If they weren’t afraid of and refuse to lead there wouldn’t be any need to nuke the filibuster. Every single one of them appears to hate the president more than they love America.

They do not care if they lose their majorities. They still get paid, have a seat at the insider trading desk that makes them filthy rich.

Plus they don’t have to do any real work being in the minority. Just go onto Sunday shows and complain and the complaining cements their reelection with their constituents who fail to pay attention.

Focus on a couple of extreme left Senators, ask them why they’re not voting for the bill. Their answers will make them look even worse than they already do. They’re not voting for it anyway, but the ones who might may decide to vote yes.

Don’t talk about anything else further down in the priorities. Concentrate our fire on this good issue.

Lee is advocating for the filibuster.

It’s been years since we’ve seen anybody filibuster.
