Tommy Tuberville spent months casting himself as the Senate's anti-abortion martyr. Now that he's dropped the torch, nobody is looking to pick it up.

Tuberville’s months-long blockade of military promotions not only failed to prompt a change in the Biden administration abortion policy it was designed to protest — it also failed to rally his fellow conservatives behind pursuit of abortion restrictions through new legislation or other tactics. As the entire GOP flounders without a unified approach to the issue in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade's demise, Tuberville's stand appears to have had no effect. IDIOT!
