Alabama,
Senator Tommy Tuberville has refused to lift a
month long blockade of hundreds of military promotions
amid these ongoing deadly attacks in Israel and Gaza
Senate Democrats said several top level nominees are past due for approval
but a blanket objection from Tuberville has stalled the promotion process.
A
spokesperson said yesterday
the Alabama Senator will not
budge until the Pentagon revokes a policy that covers travel
costs for military troops seeking an abortion across state lines.
More than 300 positions are in limbo as a result.
They include two picks for joint chiefs of staff and top
officers who would command us forces in the Middle East.
