Sen. Tommy Tuberville is waging an unprecedented campaign to try to change the Pentagon's abortion policy, employing maneuvers to hold up hundreds of military nominations and promotions.
Schumer wanted to make this change weeks ago, which must go through the bipartisan rules committee. But, he wanted Republican buy in. McConnell asked him to allow Republicans to take a run at Tuberville first. Schumer allowed this only to have Tuberville object to his own caucus. Now there is no other way to go, and Tuberville will have all of the Senate tell him to fuck off.
A question for the ages. For that you have to look at the Senate calender and note floor work days. I know both the Senate and the House were not in session the week starting with Columbus day.
Really? Schumer couldn’t have made that rule change months ago? It’s a unilateral decision.

Or the GOP is Lucy holding the football again and is going to torpedo the rule change.
Unlike House Republicans, Schumer knows how to count. I guess that’s more the Dem Whip, so Dick Durbin.
i would hope so. don’t have to count as high.
