It Would Take 700 Hours Of Floor Time To Process All the Military Nominations Being Blocked By Tommy Tuberville, Report Says
Sen. Tommy Tuberville is holding up more than 300 nominations to various positions within the Department of Defense.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can't they just remove Tuberville from that committee? The fact they don't shows they are complicit.
They should remove him from the Senate entirely, since he's violating his oath of office on the daily.
Can he be removed from Earth?
Rocket, or cannon?
Jewish space laser.
For better or worse, removing a Senator is hard to do. The Senate would need two thirds of Senators to agree with this removal. Even if every Democrat agreed (and I'm even including Sinema and Manchin here), you'd still need 17 Republicans to vote for it.
Of course, it's a good thing that it's hard to do this. Otherwise, the next time Republicans controlled the Senate, they'd start kicking out Democrats one after another for the most idiotic of reasons.
Honestly I think it's worse. I'd be fine with the occasional good senator being removed if it was equally easy to remove the bad. More turnover in general wouldn't be a bad thing for Congress, especially if it's in response to something specific. That indicates a somewhat healthy democracy where senators are held accountable to something
honestly I don't think it would be hard to get 17 Republicans to support the military
Ah, you think they still have morals and haven't sacrificed them all on the altar of bad faith? I'm jealous of your worldview.
Maybe not but they love the military industrial complex even more than the Democrats do
I just don't believe that all of them in their entirety are against the military, most people support the military and it is one of the unifying things about all the parties in the political landscape
