Sen. John Cornyn threw his support behind scrapping the filibuster to pass a voting restrictions bill President Donald Trump has called his “No. 1 priority” in Congress, as the Texas Republican continues to seek the president’s endorsement and stave off a bruising primary runoff election.

Trump has held off on endorsing Cornyn, the pick of top Senate Republicans, over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a bid to pressure leadership for action on the SAVE America Act, which would enact citizenship and photo ID restrictions in elections while also targeting transgender rights. Paxton has said he would suspend his bid if the bill passes.

Cornyn, long a supporter of the Senate filibuster, came out forcefully for repealing the rule in a Wednesday morning New York Post op-ed.

“After careful consideration, I support whatever changes to Senate rules that may prove necessary for us to get the SAVE America Act and homeland security funding past the Democrats’ obstruction, through the Senate, and on the president’s desk for his signature,” he wrote.

6. Because if it passes Republicans will control all elections.

And Democrats will never hold power again so there would be no reason to retain the filibuster for them.

11. There was a time our side demanded the end of the filibuster.

We now know it is a double edged sword.

pay off his mistress with public money, and lie to investigators (just for starters) all in the next 6 weeks.
