U.S. SENATE RULES ARE UNDEMOCRATIC. AND THEY ARE UNSAFE.
The rules of the United States Senate are anti-democratic. And unsafe.
One senator can stop military officers from being promoted, even to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Even when that one senator has never served in the military, like Tommy Tuberville.
One senator can also endanger the national security by putting a block on the appointment of diplomats from the United States to any other country. That senator -- Rand Paul -- was never a diplomat, any more than Tuberville was ever a soldier, sailor, marine, or airman but he too is allowed to endanger the security of the United States because of the rules of the United States Senate.
If the current Majority Leader of the United States Senate does not have the votes to change this rule, he should at least denounce this rule and call a vote to make it public even if he loses.
If the current Leader cannot even call a vote, he should step aside and let someone else do the work. Senator Chuck Schumer, leave the job to someone else if you can't do it.
