Back to the thread 

 

For the terminally slow here,

 

The Biden administration violated the law to protect abortion. 
The democrat senate could vote on promotions any time they choose.

Why should he, he knows that they can bypass him anytime they choose.

 

But they won't,  I wonder why ?

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.

Schumer and senate democrats have the power to vote on the appointees. Why won’t they? Do they hate our military?

BS, it would take all their time, this is all on Tuberhead, a total anti-American POS

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