Trump drops panicked plea for GOP to pass voter suppression 'at the expense of everything'

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account on Thursday to demand that Republicans pass his now-stalled legislation to put heavy new restrictions on the right to vote.

"The Republicans MUST DO, with PASSION, and at the expense of everything else, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT - And not the watered down version," wrote Trump. "This is a Country Defining fight for the Soul of our Nation!"

Among other things, the SAVE America Act would require strict photo ID in every state, add cumbersome extra steps to vote by mail, require proof of citizenship documents to register to vote, and require all state voter rolls to be verified by an infamously unreliable Department of Homeland Security system that routinely flags citizens as noncitizens by mistake.

1. What, no Executive Order?

What about the filibuster if intended for Congress?

Methinks the POTUS doth protest too much

5. An EO will get quickly shot down in court.

And they know it, otherwise it would have already happened.

7. I think he needs an amendment to the Constitution

And we know that approving an amendment can take years if not decades.

3. Whew. Good thing he dropped it.

(I know, they are using “dropped” like a Beyoncé album, but it irks me to see it in headlines. Dropped makes it sounds like he's letting go, but means just the opposite.)
