We make it far too easy for senators in the minority to use the filibuster to kill bills supported by the majority.
The whole idea behind the filibuster has, from the beginning, been to protect and prolong debate—not to cut off debate, forcing the Senate to abandon any bill that doesn’t immediately receive the support of at least 60 senators.
Filibustering is supposed to require far more than opposing cloture.
Especially for bills of exceptional national importance—like the SAVE America Act—senators should be required to hold the floor and speak.
The minute filibustering senators stop doing that, the legislation can and should be passed at a simple-majority threshold.
This is not a radical idea.
This describes what the filibuster is, how it has historically operated, and how it should work today.
Share this message if you agree that the Senate—and the country as a whole—would be well served by a return to this approach.
President Trump is right:
It shouldn’t be this hard to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship and voter ID.
Share if you agree.
ARREST ANTHONY FAUCI!

I am tired of waiting for "someone" to hold FAUCI accountable!
We The People can all file a complaint against his license. It’s fast, it’s free and all complaints must be investigated.

Thank you @DNIGabbard
Every US Senator should vote to pass the Save America Act or publicly state why they do not support it. US citizens overwhelming want it passed. The Senate is supposed to represent US citizens.
@KimsShadow@jackunheard This obstruction is coming from Democrats AND Republicans. They are ignoring the will of the people who voted them in. They should all be replaced by the people.
@Lycurgus1@ScottPresler@BasedMikeLee The very first line of this is not true. California asks if you are a citizen, but does not verify what you say. How do I know? A dog voted.
@ScottPresler@kate_p45@BasedMikeLee One senator? Where are the other 99 worthless senators? This a 85/15 bill! Are they all counting on illegal elections to retain their seats?
