An extraordinary list of powerful people and entities want Tommy Tuberville to end his blockade. Kyrsten Sinema wants to negotiate with him instead.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona independent who left the Democratic Party last year, is calling on both the Biden administration and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., to soften their positions and find a “middle ground” to end the Republican’s monthslong blockade of hundreds of military promotions over a Defense Department policy involving abortion.
Of course, one of the obvious questions is what “that middle ground” might look like. For now, no one seems to have any idea. Sinema told her audience that there’s “always a solution to be had,” but that hardly clarified matters. I don’t blame Sinema for the underlying intentions. She sees a dispute, and she’s volunteered to help negotiate some kind of agreement. There’s nothing inherently wrong with seeking out solutions to lingering problems.Right off the bat, it seems this isn’t the sort of dispute that lends itself to compromise. The Pentagon is providing travel reimbursements to servicemembers who have to travel for reproductive care; Tuberville wants to deny U.S. troops these benefits.
It’s entirely possible Sinema is more creative than I am, but I haven’t the foggiest idea where the “common ground” between these positions might be hiding.
