Senate swiftly confirms top military brass, ending months-long campaign by GOP Sen. Tuberville

The Senate unanimously confirmed 11 top-ranking military officers late Tuesday, ending a months-long blockade staged by a single Republican, Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.

Without debate, the Senate swiftly confirmed the military officials, including four-star generals, whose promotions and family livelihoods had been held up by the GOP senator protesting the Defense Department’s policy on abortion.

“That’s good news,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said afterward.

Schumer said other nominees had also been confirmed as the Senate is working to wrap up its work before a holiday recess.

I misread the title and was wondering why the senate needed a dedicated Taylor Swift fan on staff.

So, after 10 months he gets nothing.

He got a lot of press and his donors know he’s willing to debase himself.

Good.

Now expel Tuberville from the Senate.

Candelestine ,

… thank you. I really was considering the possibility he was planning a future military coup, if he could just wait for a repub pres to do the nominations like they did with the supreme court.

They might have figured out a way to do it without the log jam

All they needed to do was have an actual vote, but that is slow and takes up time which is why they had the unanimous consent process to speed things up so they could work on other things.

I’m not convinced he wasn’t, and only stopped because he chickened out.

He only stopped because he believed they were actually going to go through the process of having a vote instead of using the unanimous process that normally speeds up the process.

That’s what I was thinking too. Especially with Trump’s rhetoric he’d just have to install people who wouldn’t say no.

That sack of shit cannot be tortured to death enough to satisfy me.
