Senate Republicans erupt in anger over Tuberville’s military freeze
-
Contrary to what Sen. Tuberville had said earlier
As the night wore on, Sullivan and Ernst — herself a former commander in the U.S. Army Reserve and Iowa Army National Guard — continued to bring up new nominations and appeared to become increasingly frustrated. They noted that they were bringing up the nominations “one by one” as Tuberville had once called for, and asked why he wouldn’t allow them to go forward. Tuberville did not answer. “I do not respect men who do not honor their word,” Ernst said at one point.

Will anyone respond to General Hayden's call to remove the senator from the human race so we can get going and have leadership at the Marines?

Sure, let’s demote him to Non-Human Primate and make him ineligible for the office.

It really is over the top behavior which no administration could ever capitulate to.
Normally political hostage taking involves abstractions like budgets or political posts. Who would have guessed even a decade ago that the modern GOP would insert the military in the hostage role.

Well, that was a waste of 10 months.
More than 400 senior military officers were promoted Tuesday following months of delay after Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., ended his blockade on military confirmations without winning any change to the Pentagon abortion policy he was protesting.

From his point of view, yes, it accomplished nothing.
However, he did do something that is quite rare in today's political atmosphere. He managed to have a group of almost 99 senators be bipartisan against him. So, I guess we should give him credit for that. LOL
