"When the reality on the ground changes, leaders must take stock and adapt. I believe that Democrats, with their votes and statements, have already dealt the filibuster a fatal blow: The Senate rules will change eventually, whether Republicans like it or not. This leaves conservatives with two options. We can either unilaterally disarm, or we can stand and fight."
"We can let the Democrats keep obstructing today and then smash the rules the first chance they get, or we can act now and use the mandate the American people gave this president and this Congress to secure our elections, protect our homeland and bring back common sense."
"The Democrats' recklessness and radicalism have changed the landscape. Cornyn said he supported whatever measures are necessary to change the rule, including a talking filibuster that removes the obstructionists' free pass and makes them defend their indefensible views on the Senate floor."
Sen. John Cornyn changed his stance on the Senate filibuster rule, now advocating for its elimination to enable passage of the SAVE Act, which mandates voter ID requirements for federal elections. Cornyn, who previously valued the filibuster, argues that Democrats have weaponized it to obstruct legislation supported by most Americans. He contends that the rule will eventually change regardless, leaving Republicans with two choices: unilaterally disarm or fight back using their current mandate. Cornyn supports various measures to modify the rule, including a talking filibuster that would require senators to defend their positions on the floor. He characterizes moderate Democrats as extinct and claims the party prioritizes opposing Trump over helping citizens.
