Die Gemüter der Republikaner erhitzen sich über die Verabschiedung des SAVE America Act

Tempers are starting to boil within the Senate Republican Conference as disagreements arise over how to handle President Trump’s No. 1 legislative priority, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act, which Trump wants to push through the Senate despite staunch Democratic opposition.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a leading proponent of the bill, angered some colleagues this week by suggesting on social media that Republican senators who don’t want to force Democrats to wage a “talking filibuster” to oppose the legislation should be ousted from the Senate.

“If your senators don’t support using the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, you might need to replace them,” Lee posted on the social platform X.

Take out the bigoted misogynistic fascist rhetoric

The schill trying to pretend this is something worth passing.

If they wanted to save America, just resign.

i havent seen many people bringing it up – and i am sure the media is partly to blame – but why the hell are americans not constantly being reminded that they are handing over election security to a man who was arrested for trying to rig one?

Aww poor tempers. You make 146k$+ before the bribes.

What’s really rising is my fucking price of gas, electric bill, groceries and my anger at you spineless blowhards to stand up to Carrot Caligula and do SOMETHING to help Americans instead of celebrating us sending marines off to die for an illegal war.

Maybe a start in saving America would be locking up these pedophiles and their protectors! Instead they just talk about ways to cheat and stay in power.

It’s really called… “Save my GOP’s Ass”
Major corrections coming if House and Senate flip.

Just political theatre to appease Trump. They all know this bill is dead in the water. It won’t pass!

> Republicans from rural states like Montana argue that no-excuse mail-in voting is popular at home and hasn’t been linked to significant fraud. They argue that it would impose a hardship on voters living in remote areas to drive miles to vote in person, especially in November when snowstorms can pose serious obstacles.

LOL. I’ll be able to make it to the polls just fine, in liberal Southern California. There won’t be snow in my way.

To be more serious, there’s no way to „fix“ this bill, that won’t make it obvious the actual purpose is voter suppression of certain groups.

The SAVE American Act was written by Senator Mike Lee, the famous Mormon who has referred to Trump as a modern day Captain Moroni.

So they’re trying to save America from people who can vote, by making it much more difficult for them to be able to vote.

There are numerous problems with this bill (well obviously, Trump favors it).

1. There is no grace period. It goes into affect as soon as Trump signs it, with no leeway or instruction for state and local governments to navigate the myriad of new rules it adds.

2. It contains zero money for these governments to actually make these changes.

3. It disenfranchises millions of voters, creating difficult and expensive roadblocks for them to obtain the necessary documents needed to register to vote. For some, it will be impossible due to lack of access to these same docs. 

4. It “solves” a problem that doesn’t exist. Every single audit coming from research into voter fraud says that non-citizen voting is almost non-existent. Like, maybe 10 cases over 20 years of actual non-citizen voting in a random state. And they are caught, as the system was designed to do.

5. This will not stop non-citizens from voting, as it practically doesn’t exist in reality, but WILL stop hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of actual citizens from voting.

Edit: Oh, and 6. It’s unconstitutional, as none of the new documents needed are free, which almost certainly constitutes a poll tax, which is strictly prohibited by the 24th Amendment.

Which is probably their real goal.

Every dem Senator or house member should be screaming this during every second of debate on this bill.

Okay folks. No. Stop encouraging this. This eliminates the filibuster as we know it and allows a simple majority to pass awful legislation.

Do you want a total ban on Abortion nationwide? Cause this is how you get it.

You cannot simply talk forever.

>Conservatives, led by Lee, continue to push the idea of forcing Democrats to wage a talking filibuster, which would require them to hold the floor with continuous debate, to block the bill. Lee hopes that weeks of continued debate over the SAVE America Act will exhaust Democrats and open the path for Republicans to pass the measure with a simple-majority vote.

Do not encourage this nonsense. Hold the line.

Lets all remember Mike Lee’s fix for the global climate change is to have more kids and let them figure it out. He is a disgrace to state of Utah

Why aren’t they just rotating democrats in and out in shifts for a 24/7 talking filibuster until the midterms?? Sounds crazy but if every democrat could do a 4 hour shift every couple of day it could be done, I’d why they don’t do that more often

It’s over for the SAVE Act.

Don’t?

Maybe?

Anyone concider that option?

One of the many horrible things about this horrible act is that tens of millions of women who changed their name when they married would have to jump through all sorts of annoying bureaucratic hoops to prove that there is continuity between their birth name and their current name.

It’s one of the most anti-woman, anti-poor, anti-democracy things we’ve seen in a while.

Allegedly those who have updated names appearing on their passports won’t have to immediately jump through hoops. But how long would it be until they require people to jump through hoops to even get a passport?

The GOP will do everything they possibly can to prevent women, minorities, the poor, and progressives from voting. And they’re trying and succeeding at many other things to circumvent the vote. Truth and facts and justice do not matter to them at all.

Passing that bill would cause chaos. Much of it is most likely unconstitutional and would be challenged immediately. Would it be enforced while being challenged? Would the Trump administration even care if it was found unconstitutional? How long would it take to get a final decision? It would be chaos.

Have they considered maybe dropping it and getting reelected based on merit?

How does an act that stops women from voting being talked about so casually.

A bunch of traitors.

If ever you’re unsure whether to support something, check Mike Lee’s stance and then do the opposite.
