U.S. Senate candidate Jared Hudson says he would oppose ending the filibuster completely, but he would support ending the silent filibuster to require lawmakers to remain on the floor and debate.

With the Alabama legislature gearing up to meet together for the final three days of the 2026 legislative session, tensions between the House and Senate seem to have calmed down, but a new week can always bring new surprises.

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said on Wednesday that she was "committed" to getting the SAVE America Act passed next week, including utilizing the talking filibuster.

Thursday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) joined "The Dan Bongino Show" for a discussion centered on the filibuster and legislation aimed at strengthening election integrity across the country.

The filibuster is not a partisan trick suddenly weaponized by liberals. It is a structural safeguard designed to prevent narrow national majorities from imposing their will on the states.

On Wednesday's episode of WVNN's "The Yaffee Program," U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) discussed the ongoing government shutdown and the urgent need to eliminate the filibuster.

The filibuster, frustrating as it can be, is consistent with the American framers’ view that the majority should not run roughshod over the minority, that in making policy all factions should have a voice. Eliminating the filibuster would undermine consensus and bipartisanship and marginalize minority parties. 

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) joined Fox Business host Larry Kudlow on Monday evening for a discussion touching on the filibuster and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) questionable political future post government shutdown.

During a discussion on Thursday morning's episode of WVNN's "The Dale Jackson Show," State Sen. Sam Givhan (R-Huntsville) warned against Senate Republicans terminating the filibuster.

During Friday's broadcast of Huntsville radio WVNN's "The Dale Jackson Show," State Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) spoke about the ongoing government shutdown and why he believes Senate Democrats are continuing to vote against reopening the government.

Thursday, during an appearance on Newsmax TV, U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said that while she understood the frustration from the "unprecedented obstruction" from her Democrat colleagues, she said, based on Senate Majority Leader John Thune's (R-S.D.) comments, the votes were not there to end the filibuster.

How would the federal government function if Republicans held 77 of the 100 U.S. Senate seats in Washington, D.C.?

Last week's slowdown in the Alabama State Senate by State Sen. Rodger Smitherman (D-Birmingham) and State Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro) is still having a ripple effect throughout Montgomery.

Two Democrats filibustered Senate proceedings for about six hours on Thursday.
