Enforcing the Talking Filibuster isn’t “nuking” the filibuster It involves making senators speak—not sleep—to filibuster Consistent with Senate rules It can be hard work, but sometimes that’s necessary—and passing the SAVE America Act is worth the effort Share if you agree

Nuking the filibuster is NOT the only option for passing the SAVE America Act There are other ways to break a filibuster that involve neither “nuking” it nor 60 votes They all involve exhausting the obstructing senators—by making them speak We haven’t done that We should—now!

The talking filibuster isn’t a threat to the filibuster, IT IS the filibuster. No rules changes are required to pass the SAVE America Act. The obstacle isn’t procedure, it’s political will. Call your senators and make sure they feel the will of the American people.

To pass the SAVE Act, the Senate must RESTORE the talking filibuster. No more “zombie filibuster.” Mike Lee explains: “If [Democrats] want to filibuster, MAKE. THEM. SPEAK.”

Nuking the filibuster is NOT the only way to pass the SAVE America Act We could pass it if we took up the bill again and agreed to keep debating it until it passes, eating into weekends and recesses as necessary This used to be THE way to break a filibuster—and it’d work here

The SAVE America Act would make it (1) easy to vote, and (2) hard to cheat There is no good reason *not* to pass it If Democrat senators want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, we should make them work for it We shouldn’t make filibustering it too easy Share if you agree

🚨 BREAKING: Now that the SAVE America Act has 50 votes in the Senate, the next step is for Senators to enforce the TALKING FILIBUSTER, per Mike Lee “If they want to filibuster it, make them WORK FOR IT! Make them stand up! Make them SPEAK!” THIS IS THE WAY! KEEP PUSHING! This is an EXISTING RULE in the Senate — it just needs to be ENFORCED!

I’d love to keep the filibuster and make filibustering senators speak That’s how the filibuster is supposed to work—protecting robust debate in the Senate It no longer does that; it now forestalls debate Enforce the filibuster Or nuke it The status quo empowers Democrats

If the Senate won’t use the filibuster and make Senators TALK, then nuke the doggone thing and get the SAVE America Act across the finish line. The filibuster is not an excuse to ignore the people’s agenda.

The talking filibuster isn't nuking the filibuster -- and letting the Senate deliberate is the only way to save it. Here's part of my debate with Dan McLaughlin on Henry Olsen's podcast, Conservative Crossroads.

🚨 If you want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, "you should have to show up, stand up, seek recognition, and speak," Mike Lee told me. Not a single Republican colleague "came up with a rules-based argument" against using the standing or talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act. ⬇️

Some insist that using the talking filibuster would somehow accelerate the Democrats’ “nuclear ambitions” They have it exactly backwards If the Senate does *not* invoke the talking filibuster on the SAVE America Act, the Democrats will (1) retake the majority, and (2) nuke the filibuster sooner rather than later

Don’t let anyone trick you into thinking that enforcing the Talking Filibuster is impossible or fraught with unmanageable risk It’s neither of those things It takes time, but that’s time well spent if it means we can pass the SAVE America Act

Forcing a standing filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act is restoring Senate history. It’s become too easy to filibuster in your sleep, obstruct without effort. We need to change that.

The Senate needs to pass the SAVE America Act TODAY. If it means a talking filibuster, so be it. Securing our elections is what the American people WANT, and it’s JUST COMMON SENSE!

🚨 BREAKING: Scott Presler urges Sen. John Thune to compel senators to explain their opposition to voter ID and citizenship to the public using the TALKING FILIBUSTER. “It halts debate, that’s the 60 vote threshold!” “We’re pushing for the Senate to adopt the talking filibuster, bringing the SAVE America Act to the floor for debate. Senators against it must explain to the American people why they oppose what 84% of us support!” “We’re calling for dialogue, the talking filibuster.”
