In the days ahead, Americans can expect two things from the Senate’s debate on the SAVE America Act: Wall-to-wall Democrat lying and RINOs squirming in their seats at the thought of working more than two days a week. 

What isn’t likely is passage of an election integrity bill that most Americans support. But there is hope. 

Cue Dumb and Dumber’s Lloyd Christmas optimism here. 

While even the most sanguine supporters of the SAVE America Act concede that there’s little chance the bill will survive the 60-vote minimum required to end debate and move it to President Donald Trump’s desk, the Senate is at least talking. And that’s a March Madness miracle in and of itself.

“The reality is, it has been a very long time since the Senate has worked as a deliberative body to pass legislation,” said Rachel Bovard, vice president of programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute. And the problem with newer members of the Senate GOP conference, Bovard said, is that they really haven’t seen the Senate work.

That’s thanks to the silent filibuster, which allows the minority party, with little effort, to kill legislation in the cradle. With the 60-vote threshold to end debate, the Senate’s deliberation muscles have atrophied over the past quarter century in particular. Bovard blames GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate Majority Leader in the upper house’s history, for the body’s bloat. The octogenarian Kentucky Republican, who is coming to the end of a very long and lucrative Senate career, rarely moved on legislation until he had 60 votes in his pocket — with one notable “nuclear” exception.
