Democrats plot end run around Tuberville blockade of military promotions

You have to wonder why a U.S. Senator would try so hard to weaken the U.S. military.

Democrats and some Republicans have long expressed unease with Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Ala.) blockade of military nominees over a Pentagon abortion policy.

But with the United States’s closest ally now waging a war in the Middle East while critical positions remain on hold, Democrats are getting behind a plan to circumvent Tuberville’s hold. It will only work, however, if some Republicans back it — a test of whether Republicans’ private frustrations with the Republican Alabama senator’s tactics run deep enough to spur public action.
