The result is frustration among senior #Pentagon leaders & Democratic lawmakers who say Tuberville’s procedural #blockade is hurting #operations & creating hardship for #MilitaryFamilies, who are in limbo until the assignments are approved, waiting the move to their next #posts. But #Tuberville is unconvinced that his move poses any serious #military #readiness issues….

#Tuberville, first threatened to #block #military #nomination votes on the #Senate floor late last year & halted all #confirmations & senior #promotions starting in early March. There are now 186 #uniformed & #civilian #nominees stalled as a result of the move, & more expected in coming weeks.

#Senate #Republicans #MarshaBlackburn (R-TN) & #ThomTillis (R-NC), of the #SenateJudiciaryCommittee say they’ll #obstruct a temp replacement for Sen #DianneFeinstein (D-CA), whose extended health-related absence has stalled #confirmations of Pres #Biden’s judicial nominees. Only judges w/some Republican support can move to the floor w/o her tiebreaking vote.
