Why can't our Senate pass the Save Act? - The Kekistani Assembly of Experts

Its common sense. You have to show ID for everything.

The Democrats want illegals to be able to vote, for them of course. So what if they're not citizens? They even admit it now but instead of calling them undocumented illegals, they call them undocumented Americans to make it sound better. Here is Sen. Chris Murphy of Conn. on MSNBC talking about the people he cares about most. Its not citizens who he claims to represent.

Who's fighting for "we the citizens"? It sure isn't Senate Majority Leader John Thune. I see him as Mitch McConnell's puppet. Thune is there to block any voter integrity agenda. He's praying the Senate will go for reconciliation which would delay the vote by 10 days, maybe more. Plus, you have the Parliamentarian influence. Look at this, from AI

"The Senate parliamentarian is a nonpartisan advisor to the U.S. Senate on procedural rules, interpretation of Senate precedents, and legislative process. Appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the Senate majority leader, the parliamentarian provides guidance during floor proceedings, advises on bill referrals to committees, and plays a critical role in the budget reconciliation process by determining whether provisions comply with the Byrd Rule.

Elizabeth MacDonough has served as Senate parliamentarian since 2012, appointed by then-Majority Leader Harry Reid, and is the first woman to hold the position. The role is advisory only—the presiding officer can overrule the parliamentarian, though this is rare. Notable examples include Vice President Nelson Rockefeller’s 1975 overruling on filibuster rule changes. The parliamentarian’s salary was $216,591.63 in fiscal year 2024.

Key responsibilities include:

Advising the presiding officer on Senate rules and responses
Evaluating reconciliation bill provisions for Byrd Rule compliance
Maintaining procedural consistency and Senate precedents
Offering written and verbal procedural guidance to senators and staff
Though not elected and serving indefinitely, the parliamentarian has been replaced for political reasons—such as Robert Dove, dismissed by both Democratic and Republican leaders in the 1980s and 2000s. Recent calls for reform, including term limits, stem from the office’s significant influence over major legislation".

She's a poison pill for anything Republican.

Problem #1: It can't pass without eliminating the filibuster. Even though the Democrats have said they want to eliminate it the next time they're in power, Republicans don't want to be the first to take that step.

Problem #2: Some Republicans aren't really making it a priority.

If Republicans are going to nuke the filibuster, there's a whole bunch of wishlist items they could ram through. Unless they're going to do something extreme like repealing the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, or gun control laws, it isn't worth nuking the filibuster.

They can use reconciliation to pass the Save Act. If they do that they only need 50 votes, with Vance providing the deciding 51st vote. Thats how they passed the Big Beautiful bill. The Senate parliamentarian is a problem if she advises against the Save Act for some reason. Thune could override her, but he is such a coward/puppet I don't know if he would do that. Reconciliation is the only way to to avoid nuking the filibuster.

The filibuster is not part of the Constitution, its a Senate procedural rule to delay a vote through endless debate. I'd rather them not nuke it, but the problem is that we have no chance to have election integrity without passage of the Save Act.

If reconciliation doesn't work, they should nuke the filibuster and get it done. Democrats can't win elections without their mail-in ballot schemes and no voter-Id. They're the party of bad ideas. The people they care about are the illegals, their last chance to hold on to power. They'll do anything to make sure they can keep voting.

their last chance to hold on to power

The nature of the 2 party system means there will be a Democrat President again someday. That could be as soon as 2029, but almost definitely no later than 2033 or 2037. The next Democrat President opens the borders again on day 1, and also reverses all of Trump's executive orders, and pardons anyone Trump prosecuted.

A new President usually also wins in Congress, which means the new Democrat President will likely have a majority in the House and Senate, like Biden did for his first two years. They can eliminate the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court or pass whatever law they want.

Undoubtedly, there will one day be another Democrat president, but I doubt 2029. The Democrat party is in a shambles. The best they have right now is Gavin Newsome or Kamala, which is pathetic. What they need is a Bill Clinton, more of a centrist, but the party has gone so far left someone like that would not be welcome.

Hopefully, our do-nothing Congress will codify a lot of Trump's EOs so they can't be easily reversed. Democrats gave us four years of living under their policies with Biden and made one hell of a mess. People rejected that so we have Trump, their worst nightmare. If they ever want to win the presidency again they'll have to move to the middle. Far-left policies won't win in a general election if they can't cheat.

The person who gets the 2028 Democrat President nomination will be someone young and charismatic who "comes from out of nowhere" to win. They have to pick someone new, because anyone whose name you know already has a negative reputation.

Kamala has zero chance of winning the nomination. If she ran for real, should wouldn't win a single primary.

A new person would be their best bet. They'd run Zohran if they could but he can't run for president, thankfully. Another possibility is Pete Buttigieg. He has a beard now so he looks like a new person. If not him, I'm sure they'll come up with another manchurian candidate like Obama.

I don't think they'll run a woman this time, but no matter who they run if they are pushing the same old open border policies, transgender BS, green energy and DEI, they'll never win in a general election (without cheating).

The Republicans have many good leaders to choose from. They'll be hard to beat in 2029.

This might come out of left field but what about Rahm Emmanuel? He's the former Mayor of Chicago and there were some rumblings that he might run as a "moderate" Democrat.
