Senator Tuberville weighs in on the Republican efforts in the mid-terms. “We are not doing anything.”
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is among a handful of Senate Republicans publicly expressing frustration about doing everything possible to keep control of the U.S. Senate with the midterm elections looming.
According to a report by The Hill’s Al Weaver, the hopes of passing so-called “big-ticket items” to address affordability concerns this year were “quickly fading away,” according to some Republicans.
In brief remarks to The Hill, Tuberville suggested as much, saying there was little movement by the U.S. Senate.
“Are we doing enough? We’re not doing anything,” he said. “Everybody’s working on getting elected.”
Tuberville, a candidate for governor, has suggested some of the gridlock on Capitol Hill is attributed to the long-standing filibuster rule.
He has been a proponent of ending the filibuster in recent months. In a recent op-ed, the senior U.S. Senator warned of a doomsday scenario without the GOP taking a proactive approach to ending the filibuster.
“Republicans must end the filibuster if we have any hope of keeping a Supreme Court that respects the Constitution,” he wrote. “If we fail, Democrats have already said what they will do when they regain power: pack the courts with radicals who will disregard the Constitution altogether.” Jeff Poor 1819 News
IMO, we the people have spoken and we haven’t been “paid back” on our investment in the do nothing republican party, especially in the Senate. We have the White House, and both chambers in Congress. Lots of big talk, but where is the action? Judges need appointment from the Senate, the Save Act needs passing, but nothing. There is a long laundry list of promises made and very few even attempted, much less kept.
The Filibuster? What to do with that? I have mixed emotions. We all know the fear is what would the democratic socialists do when they regain power?
Here is a list:
- drop the filibuster
- pack the supreme court
- Impeach Trump
- Do away with the electoral collage
- open borders
- raise taxes – they call it (investments)
- destroy America
Too harsh, I don’t think so.
We have missed a grand opportunity to govern. Tuberville is right, nothing will get done now. Recess and campaigning is the mandate now.
Believe me when I say we are just as close to losing our Republic as before the 2024 election. What has been codified into law? Where is Trump on the issues, he tries to bully, but that doesn’t work like private business. Make some deals with Congress, get it done. Call them into the Oval and lay down the law. Govern!
Trump must focus on these mid-terms or he will be the biggest lame duck President ever. Trump on the campaign trail is classic. Make the right endorsements, let the money flow and let’s win these mid-terms. You can do both Mr. President, chase peace and save the country from degenerate democrats. “America First” means saving our way of life. You have the purse strings, use ‘em. Money and endorsements are the mothers milk of politics.
I’m not fear mongering, but just making salient points that need to be addressed. As the crazy Cajun (Carville) once told Clinton, “it’s the economy stupid,”. Well Mr. President, “it’s the mid-terms.” Rh
