Military nominees are usually bundled together and confirmed by a voice vote in the Senate to speed along appointments but under the senate’s rules a single senator can hold up this process.
This is the real world consequences of republican ‘leadership’ in the house. Extreme republicans like tuberville and gaetz can capture attention from the traditional news outlets for weeks because they forced mccarthy to relax rules like this.
In this case it allows tuberville to rail against ‘abortion’ when he is actually attacking time off for reproductive care for women. It is not abortion he has an issue with; it is women caring about whether or not they can or should have a baby.
Wait a second, what do the Republican shitbirds in the House have to do with a vote happening in the Senate? House rules wouldn’t affect proceedings in the Senate.
Guess I got that mixed up with the house where gaetz was using his power to do something similar. It is all to easy for me as I ignore peoples titles. Maybe I subconsciously replace senator with professional liar. It is interesting that the same sort of rules do apply to the senate even though they technically have democratic leadership. Rules that require everyone to ‘fall in line’ are the product of a lazy and corrupt ruling class in my opinion.
