You might be a little confused by this list seeing some of the names on there and thinking these people were in support of the SAVE Act.

Most are.

Like John Kennedy and Chuck Grassley, for example.

So why are they on the list?

This is not a list for who is in support of the SAVE Act.  This is a list for who is in support of using the Talking Filibuster.

As usual, Republicans can never agree to unite around a cause, they have to fight amongst themselves on how to get there.

Meanwhile, Democrats will lie, cheat and steal to get the result they want.  They will band together and do whatever it takes.

But not the Republicans.

Republicans fracture and die a thousand cuts.

So stupid!

This explains it a little better:

Senator John Kennedy and the SAVE Act

According to recent reports, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is indeed a co-sponsor of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act and has publicly expressed strong support for passing it to enhance election security by requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration.

Legislative Predictions and Strategy

• Support and Priority: He has predicted that the bill will ultimately pass the Senate and reach President Trump’s desk, emphasizing its priority status.

• The Reconciliation Approach: Kennedy has specifically advocated for using the budget reconciliation process(which allows passage with a simple majority of 51 votes) as a way to “short-circuit” the standard legislative hurdles.

• The Filibuster Distinction: He has not committed to the standing filibuster tactic being pushed by Mark Meadows and Trump to force the issue.

Current Standing

This alternative approach appears to be why he’s included on Meadows’ list of GOP senators not yet supporting the filibuster method, even though he aligns with the bill’s goals. No recent statements from Kennedy indicate a shift in his position as of March 10, 2026.

What do you reckon?
