Tuberville should stand strong against Biden’s imperial presidency

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is whining to the press about Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) blockade of over 200 military promotions.
“This is a national security issue,” Austin told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “It’s a readiness issue. And, we shouldn’t kid ourselves. I think any member of the Senate Armed Services Committee knows that.”
TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY, OR THE MINORITY OF ONE
If Tuberville’s refusal to grant consent for the Senate to approve military promotions is really a threat to national security, then there is a really simple solution: the Pentagon should rescind its completely political October 2022 decision to use taxpayer money to pay for abortions.
The United States military ably defended this nation for over 200 years before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. It is the Pentagon that picked this fight by unilaterally announcing that they would begin, for the first time ever, paying for service members to travel to get abortions. This was 100% a political decision by the Biden administration in the middle of an election year. National security played no part in the policy change.
Just read how Democrats are trying to use the issue for political gain:
Team Biden plans to tap into voters’ anger after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, ending a constitutional right to the procedure. It was a major issue in the 2022 midterms and will be again next year, but Democrats have a strong edge over Republicans on which political party the public believes best represents their views on abortion, according to a KFF Health Tracking Poll. As Republican-held states pass restrictive measures, a variety of polls show growing public support for legalized abortion and dissatisfaction with new laws that restrict it. Three in 10 voters say they will only voted for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, and while 42 percent say the Democratic Party best represents their views on abortion, only about 26 percent say the Republican Party best represents their views.
Nothing about national security. Everything about politics.

The Biden administration made this policy change unilaterally without consulting Congress. Tuberville has every right to use the power given to him by the people of Alabama to push back against Biden’s imperial decree.
If anything, more Senate Republicans should be supporting him.
