Any of you GOPers wanna defend Tommy Tuberville?

I still don't really understand how one senator is able to do this.

What band is he with?

I don't understand it either. Tuberville doesn't have any minority leadership roles in Congress, and also, the Dems have a Senate majority, so I don't know how Tuberville, who's only been in the Senate since 2021, has this much power.

Let's see....."What band is he with?".....guessing this is some sort of attempt at humor......

I got it! Tuba is a musical instrument, and his name kinda has that instrument in it? Amirite?!?

Do you, as a Republican, want to address the question? Especially since he is using abortion and his reason for this travesty?

He fully supports Tuberville in this case. Tuberville's actions are disgraceful.

I am in no way defending Tuberville. After reading the article, I ponder why his party leadership hasn't told him to stop it.
That really is a good point to ponder in my opinion. Let's be honest, I think even Donald could weigh in and put an end to Tuberville's antics.

But this jumped out at me:

" ... It’s possible to confirm each of the nominees one by one, but Senate Democrats have argued that would take up valuable floor time – despite a five-week recess taken in August. The Senate is reconvening on Tuesday ... ".

How long does it take to confirm a nominee? That I don't know. But if they can do one a minute, it's done in 5 hours.
Seems it shouldn't take more than a minute to do a roll call for each nominee.
Just doing 10 confirmations a day since Tuberville started these shenanigans would of had all 300 done by now.

I feel like we're probably not getting the full story from CNN (although I will credit them for noting the Senate's recent five week recess). I do not trust Schumer, so I am skeptical he has clean hands in this matter.

There’s not a whole hell of a lot Schumer can do… one Senator has a right to hold up the works.

Schumer is the goddamn majority leader, not just "one senator.'

Tuberville is one senator and he can filibuster until the end of time.

Tubberville is putting his values above those of our military and their families and the American people. There was a pretty good interview this am on Morning Joe with Sen. Warren on this very subject.
