Senate Republicans Prepare to Roll Tuberville

Punchbowl News: “To hear Senate Republicans tell it, they want to find every possible way to break Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) military promotions blockade before resorting to a temporary patch proposed by Democrats.”

“But unless Tuberville suddenly relents — the equivalent of Hell freezing over — what they’re really doing is laying the groundwork for an eventual vote in favor of the Democratic resolution that would allow multiple promotions to be approved in tandem.”

“In the coming days, Republicans — who say the resolution would amount to setting a dangerous precedent — will attempt to show that they’ve exhausted every possible option and were forced into backing it. And that will mean putting Tuberville’s intransigence on full display.”
