POLITICSTuberville is showing how much power one lawmaker wields under Senate rulesJuly 15, 20235:00 AM ETRon ElvingIf you follow Senate action, you may have noticed lately how a single lawmaker is using senatorial privileges to bend the will of the chamber to his own.Since February, the senator has been blocking every personnel move in the U.S. military that requires confirmation. Starting with a "senatorial hold" on what was then 150 personnel moves waiting for approval in batches, he is now up to at least 270 — and counting.That lawmaker is Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama who has been in the Senate for a little over two years. Tuberville likes to say "there is no one more military than me." And while he has not served in the military himself, he regularly features Alabama service members on his senatorial website.https://www.npr.org/2023/07/15/1187530846/tuberville-senate-rules-abortion-military#:~:text=Since%20February%2C%20the%20senator%20has,at%20least%20270%20%E2%80%94%20and%20counting

@PDFlynn Tuberville is not a lawyer. He's an ex football coach. He knows nothing about how government works. WHO put him up to this? Someone suckered him into this ploy.Chuck Shumer can bring individual promotions for the military to the floor for votes. Instead Schumer is using this as a political tool ,blaming it as Republicans problem..W T FTuberville cost Alabama Thousands of new jobs and millions of dollars..The people of that state need to send him back to football.

@GatekeepKen @PDFlynn I don't understand why they don't go ahead with votes on the most important positions. It's stupid. Schumer sucks. Tubberville should have been indicted already as an insurrectionist. Massive incompetence and timidity all around.

@lin11c @GatekeepKen @PDFlynn He's using a Senate rule that has to be followed and it would require 67 senators to vote to change the rule, which clearly wouldn't happen in current senate. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/verify-one-senator-can-hold-up-hundreds-of-military-promotions/65-9fd454ba-6d19-4ebd-b83e-ead80e8c5bc5 Re: charges for senate activity scroll down to question #6 from lawyer Teri Kanefield: https://terikanefield.com/criminal-law-101-trumps-j6-indictment/

@BluegrassRoots @lin11c @PDFlynn I understand . Schumer is intentionally avoiding this. It's a little more lengthy process but he can get the most important promotions approved and there are plenty of GOP Senators that disapprove of Tuberville's childs play.

@GatekeepKen @lin11c @PDFlynn I'm betting those senators would not vote to change a rule that gives the minority a way to exert power. And there are problems about the lengthy process: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/22/tuberville-pentagon-nominees-blockade-00098130

@BluegrassRoots @lin11c @PDFlynn I'm betting they would.. The last thing they want to do is sit in chamber all day for a promotion. They are a lazy bunch ,and Schumer is making it painful. What does he lose for not even moving one forward? Time? Oh....too busy on vacay..

@GatekeepKen @BluegrassRoots @PDFlynn I said Schumer should have forced them to stay in session through August and put the nominees through one by one, I bet they cave after a few days. Yes they are lazy and entitled.

@GatekeepKen they'll keep Schumer as long as they can because he's a Jewish parasite. @lin11c @BluegrassRoots @PDFlynn

@zoomgoboom @GatekeepKen @BluegrassRoots @PDFlynn Whatever complaints I have about Schumer have nothing to do with him being Jewish. Creepy comment. It’s more about business as usual for the Senate. Looking out for donors and the moneyed elite.
