Too bad. Schumer can do some work for once instead of whining in front of a camera.

You guys are lying again. Water is wet.

Please explain why Schumer is not letting them vote for the individuals. When this started, it was just a handful.

That is not what is happening. Tuberville is blocking any vote.

Like an idiot who doesn’t know how to get a vote on the thing he is complaining about. He’s on the Armed Services Committee. He can get a vote on the abortion policy simply by offering an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. He is obstructing every officer promotion in the military for an unrelated policy complaint that he easily could get an up or down vote on. He’s a destructive idiot.

So you don’t support the military and you don’t support military readiness? You’ve like watching Russia’s military struggle to scratch their butt and think that that’s how you want our country to be?

Then, Schumer should bring it to a vote.

FWIW, I absolutely support military readiness. I don't see how that relates to this when Schumer is not bringing these to a vote.

You sound as smart as Tommy.

So, you cannot answer the point? Why is Schumer not bringing these people to votes?

You don’t know what you are talking about. Cloture takes up a whole week of notice and procedure to get a vote on the floor. Taking these up one at a time with Tuberville requiring cloture is not feasible. Republicans are all operating in bad faith. They want Schumer to separate the Joint Chiefs nominations for separate votes but leave all the other officers unconfirmed. That is a terrible idea. They have no legitimate objection to any of the officer nominees. It’s all using military officers as political pawns to pander to a few right wing interest groups.

Tuberville is taking a principled stance against special privileges for consumers of abortion services.

He’s right; we support him.

Schumer wants Joint Chiefs approved without hearings and votes only all together?

I suspect if he would give separate votes on Joint Chiefs, that other commands would soon follow.

There are far too many flag officers anyway.

Exactly. it’s not up to the democrats to make the republicans political pandering palatable.

Anything involving taking something completely unrelated hostage is NOT a "principled stance"

He wants to do it the way they have always done it. The Armed Services Committee has hearings. They vote to send them to the floor. The Senate votes on them.

Schumer is not the one doing stupid irresponsible shit.

You assume wrong. Republican leaders want to vote on the Joint Chiefs to take some of the pressure off of them to do something about Tuberville. Their actions say they don’t give a shit about one- or two-stars or Colonels or Commanders or their institutional responsibilities, all that matters is the political narrative.

Pretty good explanation. It is a holdup but there are ways around it. So, I guess it is just a stand off.

Nothing wrong with allowing a vote. Doesn't have to be a bulk sale. If it is really a matter of national security, then Schumer should allow votes.

There is no evidence of that at all.
