A nuclear option way bigger than killing the filibuster is approaching. Writing an article now for release tonight.

For years I have believed Trump's ultimate plan for his legacy is to both drain the DC swamp AND to pass Constitutional Amendments that will correct suicidal defects in some of our institutions... but I never saw exactly how he could accomplish that with so much resistance from both Dems and RINOs.
ππA way has suddenly become clear even if it would require Republicans to be more aggressive than they have been willing to be in the past, and it seems that Trump has already taken initial steps to set it up.
There is a looming battle between certain states, and the federal government, over the issue of voter eligibility, and whether the states can be forced to comply with federal law.
Up to 30 states are currently dragging their feet, or outright refusing, to prove their voter rolls are compliant with federal requirements about citizenship, with many lawsuits pending.
Courts are so far refusing to block Trump Executive Order 14399 outright requiring states to verify federal election voter eligibility, and imposes requirements on the USPS for handling mail in ballots, however on 8 occasions lower courts have so far ruled against the DOJ trying to get voter rolls from California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Michigan, Rhode Island, Arizona, Maine, Wisconsin. None of these cases have gone to the US Supreme Court yet.
If this Order is ultimately upheld, then it and existing federal election law, set up conditions where some state elections may be deemed invalid.
If the controversial idea of ending the Senate filibuster is often described as a "nuclear option", then what's coming in January 2027 and January 2029 could be both vastly more powerful and vastly more controversial, yet well within the constitutional power of Republicans at that time... because the Republican controlled House and Senate will have no obligation to accept the results of non-compliant state elections.
Let me repeat this point. If a state runs an election that is known to be non-compliant with federal election laws, then the House & Senate have the authority to CHOOSE NOT TO seat their respective new members until a new election is run that COMPLIES WITH THE LAW.
See Article I, Section 5 authority.
In today's highly polarized political climate ask yourself... what factors would encourage Republicans to seize this power sitting in their hands, versus what factors would encourage them to dilute their own power and swear their ideological enemies into office? Many arguments and counter arguments are possible for those trying to predict what Republicans WILL do. I am merely showing what they may be in a position to do.
πBy a simple majority vote the U.S. House may refuse to seat any new Representative from states that will not comply.
These 30 states have about 280 House Reps up for election in 2026... so the number of sworn in Representatives could legally drop as low as 155 in 2026. Republicans would control an air tight Super Majority until the problem states can hold new special elections that comply with the law. (unrealistic extreme case)
Only 78 House Reps would be needed for simple majority vote business in 2027. IN 2027 ONLY 104 WOULD BE NEEDED TO APPROVE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT OUT OF THE SENATE.
πBy a simple majority vote the U.S. Senate may refuse to seat any new Senator from states that will not comply.
These same 30 states have about 30 Senators up for election with roughly 15 in 2026 and 15 in 2028... so the number of sworn in Senators could legally drop to 85 in 2026 and 70 in 2028. Again, Republicans would control an air tight Super Majority until the problem states can hold new special elections that comply with the law. (unrealistic extreme case)
Only 43 Senators would be needed for normal majority vote business in 2027, and only 36 in 2029. IN 2027 ONLY 57 WOULD BE NEEDED TO APPROVE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT OUT OF THE SENATE.

The numbers above are extreme and it would certainly not play out that way. Some states will comply rather than risk their members of Congress not being sworn in, and being unable to vote. Some states have stated they will NOT comply, and those states are all Democrat controlled... so it becomes pretty obvious that any members of Congress not seated are going to cause the balance of control to swing strongly towards Republicans.
π₯After January 3, 2027 the Trump admin could have a Super Majority in House and Senate. They can pass regular legislation unopposed and even Constitutional Amendments that would still need to be ratified by 38 States before they can take effect.
But let's be realistic about something that concerns us all. Even with a clear path to seize a powerful majority and force states to run compliant elections... will Republicans do it?
The hope needed might be found in the newer more fired up slate of Congress already lining up for 2026 elections. Redistricting is already expanding Republican leads in the House. Many powerful RINOs are on their way out.
But ultimately YOU are the only thing that can make Congress have the spine required to seize this opportunity. Clearly Trump is teeing it up to make this possible. The Republic is being given a chance to save itself, and needs to step up.

Ask yourself βdo I believe President Trumpβs ego is big enough that he would seek a path to achieve a super majority and leave a legacy of passing urgently needed constitutional amendments?β
Donβt say he canβt find a way to force the GOP to do itβ¦ but weβll see.

UNLESS an even louder faction is demanding it. The People will only have themselves to blame if it doesnβt happen. Thatβs just how Congress works.
