It’s about time that Tommy Tuberville faced criticism from his OWN party for holding up military promotions. He’s hoping that voters blame the Democrats for not being able to get around his holds, but the fact is, nine Republicans would need to vote with all the Democrats and the Independents to get a waiver to the Senate rules in this case. But the GOP doesn’t want to go along with it because they actually like having the power to sabotage the government, whether it’s the military by Tuberville or the State Department by Rand Paul. For them, the single vote holds are a feature, not a bug.
