I’ve by no means been a big fan of Sen. John Cornyn, however his stock has risen significantly after studying his article concerning eliminating the filibuster (“Damn the Filibuster,” PostOpinion, March 12).

I’ve to use ID to get into the NYU Hospital, to return gadgets to sure shops in New York City and to entry sure buildings.
Why do Democrats worry having to show ID?
It’s time for Chuck Schumer to put a sock in it and be a accountable politician as a substitute of fanning the flames.

I used to be alarmed to learn my senator, John Cornyn, advocating for the SAVE America act in The Post.
He all however says he’ll throw his morality apart to cross the invoice.
Cornyn claims it’s vital to preserve the integrity of voting.
Yet, he’s stated nothing about the Republican Party, along side the state, denying Dallas voters entry to their appropriate polling areas.
The SAVE Act doesn’t make voting more secure, it extends what was carried out in Dallas, disenfranchising as many citizens as doable.

Cornyn will get it proper.
Democrats will abolish the filibuster the first likelihood they get.

In the Nineteen Nineties, Schumer stated voter-ID “is an anti-fraud amendment.”
But now, in 2026, he says it’s “Jim Crow 2.0.”

Jhon Pena is a true hero, and all the others who helped rescue him and Air Force veteran Richard Williams are particular people for stepping ahead in an emergency (“Pushed the envelope,” March 12).
