Senator Tuberville Holding Up Military Appointments


Recommended Posts


Hey, what do you know, just like I’ve been pointing out, the senate can pass these military appointments any time 

 

So Schumer gives in and holds the vote this evening 

 

Gen. CQ Brown confirmed as Joint Chiefs chairman

Chuck Schumer is going to follow the rules.

 

How refreshing.

 

Schumer of course is upset that he is required to do his job, but Senator Tommy Tuberville has been making his life difficult by refusing to give his consent to consider military promotions through “unanimous consent.”

 

Tuberville is protesting the Biden administration’s radical change in abortion policy–one which violates the long-standing Hyde Amendment that prohibits federal funding for abortions. Earlier this year Biden approved a policy to provide funding to female servicemembers seeking abortions. Tuberville stood up for his principles and longstanding US law by refusing consent to consider all military promotions as a bloc.

 

 

Tuberville’s move didn’t prevent Congress from approving promotions; rather, his refusal merely required Schumer to bring each promotion up by itself. This is the regular order of things, while unanimous consent implies suspending the rules.

 

The media and the Democrats–but I repeat myself–insisted that Tuberville was endangering US national security by not letting Biden run roughshod over the Republicans and the law. This was always nonsense since Schumer always had the option to follow the rules. Unanimous consent may be common in such circumstances, but regular order is regular order.

 

Inserting abortion politics into military matters, according to Schumer, is not politicizing the military. But following the rules of the Senate would be.

 

This is how Democrats, who constantly claim to defend democracy, actually think. Voting, as the rules require, is too political.

 

If Republicans want to really do the country a favor, they should actually reject some of Biden’s choices. Many of them are awful.

Typical framing by the Left- very similar to saying Russia started the war by invading Ukraine…smart people aren’t fooled by this…

All by design, right @B-Man?

 

 

 

 

 


 

as a lurker of this forum, I have a question for you, if these promotions and positions are so vitally important, why hasn’t Chuck Schumer begun the process of voting them in one by one?

 

sure blame Tuberville all you need, but when the Dems have a fix in their back pocket, why isn’t it being used?

Of course B.S. is parroting the leftist line.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s OK we will take care of this at the next ballot box. This whole taking away women’s freedoms is going to be very unpopular and it’s going to have an outcome on the elections.
 

I’m not really worried about what Tuberville is doing. It will get worked out and leader ship is in place to take care of those positions until then.

 

It’s a political point on a solution that is not going to be popular amongst the people and they’re going to show it when they vote

More on the above.

 

Former CIA Director’s Post Still Wonders About Sen. Tuberville Being Removed From 'the Human Race'

Rebecca Downs

 

People have definitely been sharing their thoughts lately with regards to the holds that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is placing on military nominations and promotions in response to the Pentagon's illegal abortion policy that is in violation of 10 U.S.C. 1093. 

 

Under the Biden administration, servicemembers and their dependents can receive paid time off for abortions, and travel expenses are covered if the abortion takes place out-of-state. People have really taken their anger up a notch, though. One such user asked "Should Tommy Tuberville be removed from his committee?" That prompted Gen. Michael Hayden, formerly of the CIA and NSA, to take it a step further.

 

"How about the human race?" his post wondered. As many have taken to X to point out, the former head of the CIA and NSA is calling for the death of a sitting U.S. Senator by wondering if he should be removed from "the human race."

For the hundredth time,  it's not about "woke"

 

It's about the illegal use of military/US taxpayer funds to sponsor abortion.

 

Congress has ALWAYS outlawed this, you can't just arbitrarily change it.

 

But the fools here will keep on parroting the false narrative

In all honesty, the effect of holding up these promotions is not going to stop military readiness were too good for that and have plans in place whenever one person is not there to be able to handle their job 

 

But

 

this right here is asinine. It’s not that it’s going to hold up any kind of military readiness. It’s the Tuberville thinks that he is holding up military readiness and then on the backend tries to think military for their service.

 

If you want to thank us for our service, give us all the things that are needed to be able to wage war and peace
