Should Senate Republicans have changed filibuster rules to pass the SAVE Act?

Senate Majority Leader John Thune defended his decision not to change filibuster rules to pass the SAVE Act, saying the rule protects minority rights and reflects how the Founders designed the Senate. Republican social media users challenged his account, noting that the filibuster arose after an 1806 rules change and was not created by the Founders. Thune said Republicans would appreciate the rule when they are in the minority; Texas Sen.-elect James Talarico has said he supports ending it.
