1. Can the Senate vote to censure and block him for the rest of his term?

I would. He's proven himself unworthy of his seat.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. It doesn't bode well that his fellow Republicans are FINALLY turning on him

He's seriously endangering national security.

3. And for months Moscow Mitch did nothing

He's a crappy leader.

4. Lindsay went right at him today.

Pointing at him and mentioning him by name. He had an interesting fact - if you sit at one rank too long you can get kicked out. This is surely meant to weed out slackers (I ran into quite a few). Promotions, as long as you are in good standing, usually are done on a regular schedule so getting near your time in rank cutoff usually USUALLY isn’t really a concern.

6. Excellent point, thanks!

He's not only jeopardizing national security, but the careers and lives of those serving in the military. What an inexcusable mess.

5. Traitorous

This is nothing less than traitorous behavior and should be treated as such.

7. Tuberville is the current largest

Pimple on the ass of the Senate. The rest of the pimples are all republicans but of lesser renown.

On a happy note:

Congratulations to my new favorite Shipmate, ADMIRAL LISA FRANCHETTI, the first female CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS. A leader, an inspiration, a professional worthy of her status, a past, present and future success. In other words she not a “Tuberville.”

8. He certainly is, he's jeopardizing national security on a personal issue that will never affect him

And congratulations to your former shipmate!
