He's already working on it
He actually said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the SAVE America Act, and I said, Well, were going to get it done, Lindsey. Were going to get it done. Ill see you, like, soon, Trump told Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, adding that the two believed they might meet on Sunday.

(24,754 posts)The republicans keep the filibuster not out of fear of what democrats might do if they regain power, but because the filibuster provides them with a shield from accountability to the voters, and more importantly, from Trumps wrath when his cockamamie bills dont get passed.
Democrats will have the trifecta in 2029, and must govern fearlessly and unhesitatingly.
I know you dont care, but for others who may be reading, there can be no restoration of lost rights or repairing the damage and destruction without first expanding the court and killing filibuster to do so.
