Senator Football Gets Spanked In Senate Today. Rules Changed To End Is Hostage Taking

[Couchpotato]

? The military pays for one type of procedure and so in your mind any and all procedures should be funded? As far as I know the military funds tubal ligation which is the female equivalent to vasectomy.

Abortion is not the same thing or even close to the same thing as either of those procedures. Besides that's not Tuberville's objection if I recall correctly. The policy was granting permissive TAD to women and paying for their travel to and from to get abortions which the Military does not do for any other procedure.

Why does the military fund tubal ligation?

 

[Care4all]

And the Senate could have put this to bed months ago by just voting for the confirmations instead of all the theatrically grandstanding.

They could have, and knew they should have, but Rs were afraid of what Trump would do to them, if they did! Like have them primaried, and crap like that...

It took Israel being attacked, and us short handed with military leaders and military readiness, due to Tuberville, to give the Rs a taste of Profiles in Courage.

Stop with the silly games. Make your point

They were never even brought to the floor. Wake up. Both parties were playing games. They didn’t vote on it because they would rather throw feces at the opposing party than legislate.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why?

So it doesn't happen again. Unlimited, no consequence sex.

 

[skews13]

n the time it took to do this (months now?) they could have just voted on the confirmations already and not had to change the rule which will inevitably be used by someone else to get something stupid passed.

There's nothing in the Constitution that requires a law to be passed with 60 votes in the Senate. The Founders never intended a tyrannical minority to hold up laws supported by the people.

Here you go originalists'

In Federalist No. 22, Alexander Hamilton described supermajority requirements as being one of the main problems with the previous Articles of Confederation, and identified several evils which would result from such a requirement:

"To give a minority a negative upon the majority (which is always the case where more than a majority is requisite to a decision), is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser. [...] The necessity of unanimity in public bodies, or of something approaching towards it, has been founded upon a supposition that it would contribute to security. But its real operation is to embarrass the administration, to destroy the energy of the government, and to substitute the pleasure, caprice, or artifices of an insignificant, turbulent, or corrupt junto, to the regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority. In those emergencies of a nation, in which the goodness or badness, the weakness or strength of its government, is of the greatest importance, there is commonly a necessity for action. The public business must, in some way or other, go forward. If a pertinacious minority can control the opinion of a majority, respecting the best mode of conducting it, the majority, in order that something may be done, must conform to the views of the minority; and thus the sense of the smaller number will overrule that of the greater, and give a tone to the national proceedings. Hence, tedious delays; continual negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good. And yet, in such a system, it is even happy when such compromises can take place: for upon some occasions things will not admit of accommodation; and then the measures of government must be injuriously suspended, or fatally defeated. It is often, by the impracticability of obtaining the concurrence of the necessary number of votes, kept in a state of inaction. Its situation must always savor of weakness, sometimes border upon anarchy."[11]

In case you didn't pay attention. The rules were changed. It now will pass with a simple majority.

Now your tax dollars will pay for a woman soldier to not be held hostage in a shit for brains billhilly state cousin fucking state.

Deal with it.

The only way you exist is two cousins got together.

Why are you complaining ?

 

[HikerGuy83]

He was on 1/6 as well....

We know you were going to include links to support your claim, but they somehow got dropped.

Do please add them when you have an opportunity.

Thank you.

Women and men shouldn't be serving in combat side by side.

They still don't all that much.
The women stay safe and warm in the rear while the guys are thrown into the meat-grinder.
Most of the women end up in convoys with the supply trucks.
I don't know of any women that have flown fighter aircraft and been in dogfights.
If they had, it would have been plastered all over the news.

It takes a singular asshole to require the creation of a whole new Senate rule just to deal with him. Congratulations, Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville: You achieved that today. The Senate Rules Committee voted 9-7 to temporarily change the rules to overcome Tuberville’s ongoing blockade of all military promotions.

Tuberville has been blocking the promotions since February, ostensibly protesting the Pentagon policy that pays for service members to travel to states where abortion is legal, if they need to—a policy that none of the hundreds of officers he is punishing is responsible for creating or implementing. The resolution passed by the Rules Committee on Tuesday would allow military nominations to be confirmed en bloc, or all at once.

No Tommy, abortion does not even register as important. Didn't you get that message in last weeks elections.

Poor skrewey, so concerned that his ilk won't be allowed to murder babies. Don't worry, you still can...it's state by state now.
Plus this won't pass goofy.

They have had the ability to do this all along. In fact Schumer held two votes recently.
There's another reason Tuberville is doing this....enlighten us..........

Notice he sources the daily kos, a source as far left as he is.

It spells you got your ass handed to you on the abortion issue, and that will only get worse for you.

You can go back to losing now.

Meh.....it proves the issue should be decided independently by the people, not your king.

So now the Democrats will be able to fill the military with woke pussies and transsexuals.
We don't need new leaders.....because the military is already being run by the NCOs.

Tuberville is an alcoholic. That's why he behaves so erratic.
