Folks, I get the arguments against the SAVE Act. Yes, it should be a matter left up to the States, but what are we to do when the States fail to do their job? Just wring our hands and say, “Oh well.”
Let’s be honest and say Minnesota is corrupt and California is corrupt as hell; and so are many other States. Are we simply expected to pretend to be impotent and let the large Liberal States drag the rest of us the rest of the way into Communism and Socialism. We’ve been heading that way since FDR so please don’t make this a choice between freedom and tyranny. We are a long way from freedom, but it seems every year it gets a bit farther out of reach.
Most of what the Federal government does is unconstitutional. I get that, but to invoke the idea to oppose the SAVE Act because it is an over-reach seems like a cop-out to me. We are over the cliff and on the verge of loosing the Republic if we don’t force the States to limit voter participation to American Citizens. If States won’t do that voluntarily then only the Federal Government can compel them to do what is right. That’s just reality. Only when both political parties agree to this premise can a State level solution be pursued. The Liberal States don’t want to limit voting to citizens because their biggest constituent group is foreigners that are here illegally. This was Biden’s immigration strategy all along. Anyone saying differently is a liar.
Guys, we have a small window of time to get our country back or it will be lost forever.
But why the SAVE Act? Did you know it is piggybacked onto the 1993 motor vote law? Yep, I hate that law too, but … The motor voter law has been litigated. By changing its requirements, the hope is to avoid a protected amount of litigation which would be the case if the SAVE Act was created out of whole cloth. What good would it be to pass the law and then have it blocked by a Federal court judge?
The biggest obstacle to passing the SAVE Act is Republicans, specifically John Thune. Thune was opposed to the idea and still is. He signed on to support the measure only after 49 Republican Senators got on board with it. Thune did not do this to lead but to obstruct. By signing on to the Act and being the highest-ranking Republican, he gets to call the shots as to when, where, or if, it ever has a chance to become law. He will either block it or shake-down the rest of his Senate colleagues to extract concessions on swamp goodies to allow a vote. Thune is purposely screwing-over the country by blocking the SAVE Act. As usual, he is turning the Constitution into a suicide pact.
Congress is a hopelessly corrupt organization whose job is to fix nothing because if they did, they would have no crisis requiring them to be elected to fix anything. When out of power, Democrats are always the champions of immigration, but when they control the levers of power, they never fix the issue. If they did then they couldn’t fundraise on the issue and campaign against the other party for stopping their solutions which are actually and purposely nonexistent. Didn’t you notice that they never introduce a bill to fix their issues, they just point fingers at other side once they lose power. Ditto for Republicans, just different issues.
