Democrats Try to Change Rules to Bypass Senator Tuberville's Hold on Nominations | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Senator Tommy Tuberville continues holding up military nominations. He's been doing so since February. The Alabama Republican says the Pentagon's abortion travel policy violates the law. Democrats and some Republicans keep pressuring him to drop the holds. Now, Democrats want to change Senate rules to get that done. More than 300 military nominations have been blocked and Senator Tuberville isn't caving in, so Democrats are trying to change senate rules and allow many of the 300 to be approved for promotions quickly. Senator Tuberville says Democrats are just desperate. Senator Tuberville says, "Be like getting into a football game and changing the rules on first down, or two points, give three points for a touchdown. It is absolutely insane what the Democrats are trying to do. They would rather burn down the Senate than negotiate." But with Israel now at war and dangers escalating in the Middle East, Democrat Senator Mark Kelly says it's vital for a dozen United States Central Command commanders to be in their new posts. Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is one of those exploring the temporary rule change. Senator Tuberville says it's doomed to fail.
