"The Senate said they didn't have time to debate this on the House floor, yet they literally had time for a dog parade. So there's no excuse for not embracing the standing filibusters. Leader Thune, I'm asking you directly to stand up for the American people. Force your senators to do their job."
"But in the event [you don't], you will not have any legislation passed and we will attach it to FISA. So those are your options."
"We're willing to hold the line. We're on the side of the history here and we have the American people with us. It's an overwhelmingly popular issue and the president supports it."
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Rep. Brandon Gill issued an ultimatum to Senate Majority Leader John Thune regarding the SAVE America Act, which requires voter identification for federal elections. The bill passed the House but awaits Senate action. Luna threatened that House Republicans will block Senate legislation or attach the SAVE Act to FISA if Thune does not schedule a debate and vote. She criticized the Senate for finding time for a dog parade while neglecting this legislation. Gill estimated 40-50 Republicans support this position. Luna emphasized the issue's popularity and presidential support, stating they are willing to hold firm on this demand.
