Political Quotes

“yesterday, 10 months of delay finally ends on a positive note. The Senate confirmed the last of the military nominees held up by Senator Tuberville. Military leaders and their families who have had their lives put on hold for months can finally breathe a sigh of relief because the wait is over. It was a very good outcome, one that should not have been necessary. But now that the holds have been lifted and these nominees confirmed, I hope this never happens again. Let the experience of the past 10 months be a warning: No Senator--no Senator--should use our military officers and their families as political pawns to push a political agenda no matter how strongly they believe in that agenda. This was a long and painful ordeal for our Armed Forces, but it ended on a positive note for them and for our country because Senator Tuberville didn't get one bit of what he asked for, only a lot of pain to military families. Let's make sure this never happens again no matter how strongly any 1 of the 100 Senators feels on any one issue. Don't hold the military families hostage. ____________________”
