Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced Thursday that she would block the promotions of 1,123 senior military officers until Defense Secretary Mark Esper promises that he will promote Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who is believed to have communicated with the whistleblower that sparked Trumps impeachment.
Her office called the move unprecedented but said it came in response to reports of political interference in military matters by Trump the commander in chief.

Do Senate rules allow one member of the minority to obstruct promotions in this fashion?

The RAT party consists of the entire LGBTQRSVP crowd and those that want to become a member of that crowd.

Those of us with past military experience know you are 100% right.

Start at the top: Nancy “Ice Cream” Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Many corporate heads should probably fall under a prudent investigation for ties as well. Let’s not kid ourselves: some of them are not “bending the knee” out of fear; they’re collaborators, and should be treated as such, should true justice ever come about in this republic again.

Most of our senior officer corps, including the Commie Vindman, are now perverts and pansy’s thanks to Obama.

Have you ever asked yourself how are military has flag rank officers like Mattis, McRaven, McMaster, Kelly, Dempsey, etc. The real warrior leaders are forced out.

Where is the Republican Senator with backbone who will say he/she will block the promotion list if his name is on it?
To: rktman
The Commander In Chief can declare them promoted regardless of what a politician says, right?

Yeah, she's not doing him any favors. I wouldn't want to work with or under the bastard. If he has enough time in to retire, that would be his smart move, but then he thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

I asked in vain when he took part in hearings - WHAT exactly happened to him that he was awarded a Purple Heart BUT NEVER missed a day of duty. Can someone explain or know?
