Republican Senator Mike Lee says there has been major progress in the push to pass the SAVE America Act after mounting pressure on Senate leadership to move the legislation forward.
In an update to supporters, Lee, the lead sponsor of the SAVE America Act, said recent discussions with Thune and his staff have led to meaningful progress on how the bill could be debated and brought to a vote.
As The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly exposed, Thune, the same weak-kneed establishment hack who mocked grassroots conservatives as “paid influencers,” refused to nuke the filibuster, and spent weeks making excuses why he couldn’t deliver for President Trump, has been forced to bend.
Lee confirmed the breakthrough in a new video clip: a HYBRID form of the talking filibuster is now set to be implemented.
That means Democrats will be FORCED to take the floor and defend their radical anti-voter-ID agenda. possibly for HOURS or even DAYS, against a bill that 85% of the American people support.
Here’s the full statement from Sen. Mike Lee:
Sen. Mike Lee: “Okay, important update on the Save America Act and the effort to get it passed. Look, I am guardedly optimistic. We’ve turned kind of a corner over the last few days.
There’s been some uncertainty about exactly what procedure we will and will not be using. In the end, we’ve been working closely with Leader Thune and his staff, and they’ve been great to work with.
What we’re coming up with is something that I think is best described as a hybrid version of the talking filibuster. But look, let’s not get mired down in nomenclature. What matters far more than what we call it is what we do with it.
We’re going to bring it to the floor. We’re going to debate it for an extended period of time before filing cloture. And in my view—at least, I don’t want to speak for anyone else—this bill needs to remain on the Senate floor before we file cloture for as long as it takes to get it done.
Now, the fact that Leader Thune and his office have been willing to work with us on this, and that they appear open to a variation of that, is a good thing.
So let’s keep up the momentum. Let’s encourage them to continue to do this. Let’s put the bill on the floor. Let’s make those who want to filibuster speak, and keep it on there as long as possible.”
