Senate Democrats are preparing to send a resolution to the Rules Committee to overcome Senator Tommy Tuberville's blockade of military promotions. The resolution would allow most of the 300-plus promotions to be considered on the floor en bloc. Tuberville has been holding up the promotions for months, but is now pushing to confirm the Marine Corps' second-in-command after the commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, was hospitalized due to a medical emergency. McConnell has been trying to convince Tuberville to express his opposition in a different way. Tuberville responded to Senate efforts to end his blocking of military promotions by saying they should be worried about the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East that the Democrats and Joe Biden have created.

It is beyond belief that the Senate, after some nine months, has not steamrolled Tuberville and confirmed the military nominees. At the very least, make the Tuberville defenders stand up and vote on the floor against a motion to confirm all of them. Now.
