Ernst already voiced her support for him, which is extremely disappointing coming from a veteran who experienced sexual assault during her own time in the military. If she came out forcefully against him she could potentially bring along other senators. As it is her support for him provides plenty of political cover for other Republican senators who might otherwise be on the fence. “If my dear colleague and distinguished combat veteran Senator Ernst believes that he’s qualified for this role then who am I to disagree?”

Along with a screenshot of the first page of the amendment.

Since the post is gone now, can you remember whether this just aimed to repeal the 22nd amendment, or did it also contain something else? Like paving the way towards, say president for life or dynastic rule?

So we now have a white, Christian supremacist with a hard on for using the US military against those of us who are against that kind of thing as Secretary of Defense…
This is a fucking nightmare.

I get the point he’s making, I guess, but whether the margin was close or not the guy still got confirmed and we’re all going to have to live with the consequences of that. Pointing out how embarrassing it was for the Republicans that it was such a close vote is pretty cold comfort.
