The only reason Tuberville is able to hold things up is because the senate generally votes on these all at once and that type of vote is required to be unanimous. If republicans want to play games, the senate majority leader should bring up these high level positions one at a time and hold normal votes.
It wastes time, but at least it helps get around this nonsense.
