She contends that public support for voter ID is strong, citing a pew survey that found 83% of Americans back requiring government-issued photo IDs to vote, including a majority of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The article also summarizes Democratic objections, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer opposing the act and calling it akin to \u201cJim Crow 2.0.\u201d It notes conservative Republicans like Josh Hawley and Mike Lee advocating the talking filibuster as a tactic to move the bill forward, while Collins in the moderate wing and Senator Fetterman\u2019s nuanced stance are mentioned as part of the broader debate. the piece frames the discussion around voter ID, potential changes to Senate procedure, and the political battle over immigration and voting laws.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Republican Florida Rep.

Thune has every ability to bring the &lsquo;standing filibuster&rsquo; to the floor,&rdquo; Luna added, using another term for the &ldquo;talking filibuster.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I know he [Thune] famously came out, maybe a few days ago, and said that they might not have the time,&rdquo; Luna said, referring to a remark the Senate majority leader made to an NBC News reporter Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I would actually argue that this is probably the number one thing especially moving into the midterms,&rdquo; Luna continued. &ldquo;Many senators have said if we do this, the Democrats are going to do this when they regain power. But the fact is, Maria, is that the Senate Democrats have made it very clear that they want mass amnesty, they want mass naturalization of illegals, and, frankly, I think they&rsquo;re going to do it anyway.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN on Sunday that his Democratic caucus will oppose the SAVE Act &ldquo;tooth and nail,&rdquo; adding that the election integrity legislation is &ldquo;like Jim Crow 2.0.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If Thune and Republicans force Democratic senators into a &ldquo;talking filibuster&rdquo; of the SAVE Act, Schumer&rsquo;s caucus would be physically required to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >continually make long speeches<\/a> to hold the Senate floor in order to derail the bill, a potentially lengthy process which could last weeks and take time away from other legislative priorities. This marks a stark departure from the usually &ldquo;silent filibuster&rdquo; which simply causes a bill to die in the Senate if it fails to reach 60 votes.<\/p>\n<p>Several conservative senators have already signaled their support for forcing Democrats into this course of action.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m a fan of the talking filibuster&hellip; especially as Democrats have proven more and more obstructionist,&rdquo; Republican Missouri Sen.

John Fetterman, a maverick who often breaks with his party, will &ldquo;likely vote&rdquo; for the SAVE Act.

Anna Paulina Luna told Fox News on Sunday that there could be a path for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act despite strong Democratic opposition if Republicans use a little\u2011known tactic. She urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to bring the bill to the floor immediately and to consider forcing Democrats into a \u201ctalking filibuster,\u201d a strategy some Republicans believe could allow passage with a simple majority rather than the standard 60 votes.<\/p>\n<p>The SAVE Act, which the House passed with only one Democratic vote, would require photo ID to vote nationwide and proof of citizenship to register. Luna noted bipartisan support, pointing to Sen. Susan Collins as the 50th Republican to join the effort, and she said Thune could use the \u201cstanding\u201d or \u201ctalking\u201d filibuster to move the bill forward. She argued that many Democrats want mass amnesty anyway and that the election\u2011integrity measure is a top issue heading into the midterms. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats would oppose the SAVE Act \u201ctooth and nail,\u201d likening it to \u201cJim Crow 2.0.\u201d If Republicans force a talking filibuster, Democrats would have to deliver lengthy speeches to keep the Senate floor, a process that could stretch for weeks and delay other priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Some conservative senators have already signaled support for forcing this tactic. Missouri\u2019s Josh Hawley praised the talking filibuster, and Utah\u2019s Mike Lee has been a strong advocate for using it to pass the SAVE Act. Luna argued the filibuster is about ensuring voters have confidence in the process and that lawmakers who oppose voter ID should be held accountable at the ballot box. She also said she expects Senator John Fetterman, a known occasional critic of his party, to likely vote for the SAVE Act, though he has opposed the bill so far. Luna noted that the talking filibuster is a historical tool and argued it should be used as a standard part of the Senate\u2019s procedure again.<\/p>\n<p>A Pew Research Center poll from August 2025 found that 83 percent of Americans support requiring all voters to show government-issued photo ID, including 71 percent of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This paraphrase focuses on the core points and quotes from the article while rewording the original text<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2572485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-02-22T003830.934.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[38370,32085,34333,23610,64327],"class_list":["post-2572484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-anna-paulina-luna","tag-republican-party","tag-save-act","tag-thune","tag-us-congress"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-02-22T003830.934.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2572484"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2572488,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572484\/revisions\/2572488"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2572485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2572484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2572484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2572484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
