To save the SAVE America Act the Republican-controlled Senate must blow up the filibuster, two conservative senators tell The Federalist. 

The very thought makes most members of the Senate GOP conference weak in the knees, fearing what Democrats would do without the iron line of a 60-vote threshold to move legislation forward. Senators Rick Scott of Florida and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin aren’t in that camp. 

Johnson sees it as a kind of golden rule in recognizing that Democrats have no ceiling when it comes to nasty politics. So, do unto others before they do unto you. 

“Again, I don’t know how much more broken the United States Senate could be before my colleagues kind of wake up, smell the roses and go, ‘Yeah, we better act before they do,’” Wisconsin’s senior senator told me recently on a The Benjamin Yount Show on WISN in Milwaukee. 

Johnson and his like-minded colleagues believe you go big or go home, and republic-saving election reform package is worth nuking the “silent filibuster” — the deliberative Senate’s bill kill switch. 

‘We Have to Get Rid of the Filibuster’

Congress returns to work next week after its extended spring break, and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, awaits more fruitless debate. Democrats aren’t budging on the bill that requires documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and photo identification to cast a ballot. They have made ludicrous claims that the SAVE America Act will disenfranchise millions of voters who apparently are completely helpless in obtaining an ID to vote while they use ID for just about everything else.
