\n

A cohort of Senate Republicans<\/a> joined Democrats to sink a late-night attempt to attach a version of voter ID and citizenship verification legislation to the GOP\u2019s bill funding federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell,<\/a> R-Ky., all voted against a modified version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Their defection came during the Senate\u2019s marathon “vote-a-rama,” where lawmakers could force votes on any number of amendments, regardless of whether they mesh with the underlying budget blueprint.<\/p>\n

The amendment\u2019s 48-to-50 failure crystallized what several Republicans had warned for weeks before launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the SAVE America Act last month \u2014 it didn\u2019t have the support among the GOP to pass.<\/p>\n

SENATE GOP RAMS THROUGH BLUEPRINT TO BANKROLL ICE, BORDER PATROL THROUGH END OF TRUMP ERA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It appears the proposal was doomed even if Senate Majority Leader John Thune<\/a>, R-S.D., launched an oral filibuster to advance the measure with a simple 50-vote majority.<\/p>\n

Still, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., pushed his version of the SAVE America Act<\/a> after threatening to hold up the process until Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kennedy acknowledged that his effort may not comport with the strict Senate rules that guide the reconciliation process, known as the Byrd Rule, but countered that critics of his move “can\u2019t predict the future.”<\/p>\n

“I respect everybody in this body, everybody,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor. “If you vote against this bill, I\u2019m not going to say a word. And I\u2019m sure as hell not going to go on social media and call you an ignorant slut. That\u2019s not the way I roll, unless I\u2019m pushed too far.”<\/p>\n

SENATE GOP LAUNCHES ALL-NIGHT VOTE-A-RAMA TO FUND ICE, BORDER PATROL THROUGH END OF TRUMP’S TERM<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Had Kennedy\u2019s bid been successful, it could have instructed the Senate Rules Committee to craft legislation that would require voter ID to register and cast ballots in federal elections<\/a>, limit voting to Election Day only and require that ballots be counted within 36 hours of an election.<\/p>\n

It also would have set a $10 billion ceiling for the committee to use in crafting and implementing the legislation.<\/p>\n

Notably, McConnell chairs the Senate Rules Committee and would have been tasked with creating the new legislation if Kennedy’s idea worked out.<\/p>\n

Collins previously said she would support the SAVE America Act, but rejected this version of the legislation. Meanwhile, Murkowski and Tillis pushed back against the proposal ever since Republicans launched their floor takeover.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SENATE REPUBLICANS UNVEIL IMMIGRATION FUNDING PLAN WITH $140 BILLION PRICE TAG AS DIVISIONS SIMMER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed for passage of the SAVE America Act. Last month he vowed not to sign any other bills<\/a> until it gets through, and said he wouldn’t approve of a “watered down version.”<\/p>\n

Top Senate Rules Committee Democrat Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., charged that Kennedy\u2019s amendment was a “solution in search of a problem.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve already gone down this road for several weeks now to debate the so-called SAVE America Act,” Padilla said. “But I think, despite how you felt about the SAVE America Act, which certainly cannot pass the Senate, even my Republican colleagues would say the measure suggested by our colleague from Louisiana is an even more extreme version.”<\/p>\n

Kennedy\u2019s failed attempt comes as debate over the SAVE America Act has taken a back seat in the Senate in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

The GOP\u2019s reconciliation gamble, reauthorizing the nation\u2019s controversial spy powers, and the war in Iran have all dominated the Senate floor. Still, Republican leadership has no immediate<\/a> plans to end its floor takeover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
