Senate Rules Committee <\/a>officials this week will try to break through Sen. Tommy Tuberville\u2019s months-long blockade of military nominees<\/a>, though it\u2019s unclear if the plan can gain enough Republican support to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee on Tuesday will vote on a plan to allow consideration of about 350 pending nominations in a single parliamentary move, a dramatic change in precedent for the chamber. The proposal is expected to easily pass out of the committee but will face more problems in the full Senate, where Republican cooperation will be needed for final approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuberville<\/a>, an Alabama Republican, has held up fast-track consideration of routine senior military promotions<\/a> and confirmations since the spring over his objections to the Defense Department\u2019s abortion access policy. In recent days, several GOP colleagues have pressured him to relent on the holds, citing cascading leadership difficulties caused by the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tuberville thus far has rebuffed those requests. Tuesday\u2019s rules committee meeting is designed to force a resolution on the issue, with Democratic leaders (and a number of top Pentagon officials) insisting the standoff has already lasted too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
