promotions previously held up by Tuberville !!!

n a reversal of a months-long stance, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday that he will bring a resolution to the Senate floor that, if passed, would overcome the military promotions block from Sen. Tommy Tuberville

The Alabama Republican has held up more than 300 promotions over his objections to the military’s reproductive rights policy.The resolution, introduced by Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed, would allow the promotions to be processed en bloc. 

Schumer said he will bring it to the floor as soon as it clears the Senate Rules Committee, which will determine the parameters needed for the resolution to pass.

The move comes in addition to the three military promotions they are acting on Wednesday that had previously been held by Tuberville.
