David August ❌👑The U.S. Senate is really ready to be giving up all their power? Can we not rely on them to be a little greedy for their own power? Acquiescing to the President can make them just a rubber stamp, like the russian duma, and effectively powerless.

Susan Larson ♀️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌈There’s still one #recourse for #SupremeCourt #justices who #lied at their #confirmations
In #essence, all these #justices committed #perjury at their #Senate #confirmationhearings, which is a #crime under Title 18 of U.S. Code, and an #impeachable #offense.

getmischConservatives don't play by the rules. Remember how they always would insist on a supermajority, so often that the press wouldn't even mention the GOP spitting on historic Senate norms. Now their refusal to accept bodily autonomy is destroying our military, which they love so much, they proclaim.

NonilexThe 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.
