SAVE Act

[Ron Burgundy]

how is that possible?

I'm no expert on the arcane rules of the Senate but I would think you'd need a quorum.

It was passed by voice vote. It’s not going to Trump, this is just the senate’s bill that they sent to the House. The House bill full funds DHS and the SAVE act.

He’s just pissed at the weak senate republicans that bent over for democrats because they wanted to go home.

Surely regardless of method of vote, whether its voice, show of hands, secret ballot or by doing cartwheels across the Senate, there needs to be a quorum present for a vote to be valid.

Covid changed a lot of things. Like you would think the entire country would understand the dangers in allowing everyone to vote by mail. But here we are. Be nice if they changed it back. Or-hear me out-declare Election Day a federal holiday and make everyone vote then instead of mail in voting and 14 weeks of early voting.

It's weird how the two opposing parties seemed to collude. Like they were aligned or even in the same team.

Time to wake up folks!

It’s weird that every time democrats are the congressional minority they manage to accomplish more than the majority republicans. And it’s usually accomplished by republicans acting indignant and opposed to democrat demands for a couple weeks then suddenly bending over and giving in and telling us how it truly is good for the country.

Sure, there are a few republicans that are truly in opposition to the democrats’ platform (enormous minority that they are), but the establishment is the establishment, truly two wings of the same bird.

I thought we were talking about the Senate passing legislation with only 5 senators present, not elections.

In honesty, I didn’t even know voice voting was a thing for passing legislation. And even if it’s not, no one should be surprised because this how our legislative body does business. Shady deals in the middle of the night with only five members present sounds par for the course if you ask me.

We're they under threat? Were they bribed? Probably both sprinkled together.
