Sen. Mike Lee insists Senate Republicans can still pass the SAVE America Act if they actually attempt it, arguing the power remains in their hands. He claims he has pushed for specific legislative tactics over the previous twelve months, pointing to a parliamentary procedure that would force filibustering senators to speak continuously until passage is achieved. Alternatively, he suggests eliminating the filibuster as another method to get the legislation through, noting this should have happened all year. Whether there is support to nuke the filibuster is a different question entirely, but the situation boils down to political willpower. Lee predicts the next sixty days could be highly productive for the Senate GOP if they adopt a tougher approach, potentially making them the most productive since the Big Beautiful Bill was done.
