Tuberville Relents After Year of Blocking Military Promotions Over Abortion Policy
- Sen. Tuberville has blocked military promotions for a year due to his opposition to the military's abortion policy
- This has compromised military readiness, with top brass working 18-hour days to cover vacant positions
- Tuberville's actions led the Senate to consider measures to marginalize his obstruction
- After pressure, Tuberville has backed down and allowed most promotions besides 4-star generals
- Tuberville now suggests he may remove his final objections to the remaining 11 military nominations
