The fascist senator is still blocking to command positions, clearly to keep them open if Trump seizes power and to fill them with yesmen who will follow his orders to use the US military to murder American civilians.

The Senate unanimously confirmed over 400 military promotions on Tuesday just hours after Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) partially lifted his one-man blockade that held the advancements up for months.

Why it matters: The Alabama Republican's boycott, which he initiated in protest of a Pentagon abortion policy, drew bipartisan criticism for jeopardizing military readiness.

Tuberville said he will continue to block the promotion of all senior military positions that are four stars or higher.

Yes, but: Maintaining the boycott for senior positions will leave several top roles in limbo, including the heads of U.S. Northern Command, U.S. Cyber Command and the Missile Defense Agency.

What they're saying: After Tuberville announced his partial lift, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he would immediately move forward with promotions that were previously held up.

"Senator Tuberville held out for months, hurt national security and military families, and didn't get anything he wanted," Schumer said on social media.
Tuberville said he has so far gained no political concessions from the blockade and had no regrets for initiating it, according to PunchBowl News.

Catch up quick: Tuberville opposes a Defense Department policy that reimburses service members for certain abortion-related expenses incurred by them or their family members.
