In a surprising turn of events on Capitol Hill tonight, Alabama Senator Tommy Turreville has made a significant decision that has left political pundits scratching their heads. Turreville, a staunch Republican, has dropped his longstanding hold on 11 four-star military nominees, allowing the Senate to finally confirm their appointments.
This latest development comes on the heels of Turreville's recent decision to relent on hundreds of other military nominees that he had been holding up since February. His initial protest was due to the Pentagon's policy on abortion, specifically the provision that allows for the travel expenses of service members seeking reproductive healthcare.
