The Utah senator spoke to Breitbart News as Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has said he would bring the House-passed SAVE America Act to the Senate floor this upcoming week. ...
Lee, who introduced the SAVE America Act, has led the campaign to use a “standing filibuster,” which would require those opposed to the legislation to actively hold the Senate floor to prevent the ending of debate on the bill. If pro-SAVE America Act senators were to exhaust Democrats from holding the floor, debate would end on the legislation and the Senate could move to pass the legislation with a simple majority, or 51 votes. ...
“The battle for the SAVE America Act comes to the Senate floor next week. While I believe forcing Democrats into a standing filibuster is our best chance of success, we now have an opportunity to show the country who is fighting for secure elections and who fears them. Americans should keep up the pressure on Democrats and stay tuned,” Lee told Breitbart News in a written statement.

Lee, who introduced the SAVE America Act,
Former White House Chief of Staff and former Rep. Mark Meadows, now a senior partner at the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), on March 11 compiled a list of Senate Republicans that have embraced the use of the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act. This includes:
Jim Banks (IN)
Marsha Blackburn (TN)
Ted Budd (NC)
Katie Britt (AL)
Bill Cassidy (LA)
John Cornyn (TX)
Ted Cruz (TX)

Thune has rejected calls to use the standing filibuster; however, he said that bringing the legislation to the floor would still put Democrats on the record about their opposition to the legislation. ...
Both parties cheat.
If the truth comes out about the Democrats, the actual Democrat voters won’t care.
If the truth comes out about the Republicans, the Republican base will be furious.
“Thune has rejected calls to use the standing filibuster; however, he said that bringing the legislation to the floor would still put Democrats on the record about their opposition to the legislation. ...”
A worthless publicity stunt that will fool nobody; Thune and the rest of the GOP will find out in 7 1/2 months just how fooled nobody was. They aren’t scared; both parties will get exactly what they want in November.
This charade certainly BETTER not fool “anybody” into endorsing a certain incumbent Senator from Texas who is up for reelection.
Rep. Dusty Johnson: Passing Save America Act Through the Senate Comes Down to ‘Math’
Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) told Breitbart News Saturday that passing the SAVE America Act through the Senate comes down to “math,” and if enough Senate Republicans would back a “talking filibuster.”
No it won't.
It won't show who is for and who is against removing the filibuster.
That's the real tell.
Thyme is a snake. Period. He is the back up quarterback for “Team Mitch,” which is against the U.S. Citizen.
JS needs to go to the Senate, take authority and hold the vote.
Will put Democrats on the record about their opposition to the legislation. ...”
As if that matters.
If Republicans had really cared about election integrity, they would have taken action in the years after the 2000 election fiasco that was eventually decided by the Supreme Court. Instead they acted like having to wait over a month to find out who the next President was, was nothing out of the ordinary, and they failed to even bring up the topic of election integrity during the years they had the majority in both Houses of Congress. 20 years passed, and their failure to even try taking action, brought us the 2020 steal...and Republicans in Congress went along with it.
We don’t need t reveal this - it’s pretty much known - we need the bill PASSED!!!
Unless you believe congressmen act in purely random ways, give some careful thought to the reasons WHY any of them might oppose this.
No talking filibuster, we lost
We will only know who is really for this by seeing who voted for the standing filibuster.
WHAT THE F*#k IS WRONG WITH REPUBLICANS???
This THINE SHOULD BE TOSSED OUT A WINDOW!!!

Sen. Mike Lee: Planned Vote on SAVE America Act Will Show Who Is Fighting for Secure Elections, Who Fears Them
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
It remains that the uniparty continues to ignore Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A) imo, that section a penalty for states where election integrity has been compromised.
Note the zero tolerance "hair triggers" in that section that the Supremes, Pence and the J6 Congress wrongly ignored imo when lawmakers voted to accept Biden's electoral votes in 2020 despite allegations of vote-counting problems.
is denied to any
or in any way abridged,
Section 2 of 14A: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. [Apportionment of Representatives]
Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
In fact, here's third-party opinion that Section 2 is being ignored.
No serious effort was ever made in Congress to effectuate § 2, and the only judicial attempt was rebuffed.2 , cert. denied, 328 U.S. 870 (1946). —Apportionment Clause
The Section had long been dead. But there are two camps of legal scholars who wish to revive it. The first consists of those who would like to see Section Two enforced to punish states that abridge their citizens’ right to vote, especially in the wake of Shelby County v. Holder. Recently, Joshua Geltzer, the executive director at Georgetown’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and the former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, added himself to this camp. The second camp is using Section Two, which distinguishes on the basis of gender, as evidence that Section One’s Equal Protection Clause does not prohibit gender-based discrimination. Jonathan Mitchell spearheads this movement. —The Worrisome Ghost of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Second Section
Regarding the wrongly ignored Section 2, Thomas Jefferson had warned against ignoring parts of the Constitution.
The general rule [is] that an instrument is to be so construed as to reconcile and give meaning and effect to all its parts. --Thomas Jefferson to -----, 1816. ME 14:445
If this were a better world, the media would be warning the states ahead of elections that the feds will be darkening their doorways under Section 2 concerning reasonable allegations of vote counting problems.
The ignored Section 2 is a reminder of ongoing deep-state corruption that Trump's tsunami of supporters, evidenced by his record-breaking votes in 2024 elections, still need to primary all state and federal lawmakers up for reelection in 2026 elections if they refuse to publicly support Trump.
The vote, if it occurs, will demonstrate who understands what “enumerated powers” the Constitution grants to the federal government, and those who claim to be “conservative” but are happy to disregard the Constitution when it’s in their political interest.
There’s nothing Conservative about that.
And the congress supposedly voted to change the constitution on elections law.
Here’s the problem, they can’t change the constitution without an amendment to the constitution. What the congress did is illegal.
Pubbies, cheat? Say it ain’t so.
Anybody who hasn’t figured this out 20+ years ago hasn’t been paying attention.
