Nor did he convey their will. The overwhelming majority of Alabamians opposed his hold on promotions. Which would seem obvious to anybody but a trumptard.

I'm interested in issue 2) and Mike's post above. The linked poll does show that a majority of AL voters do not agree with Tuberville's position and worry it threatened national security. Maybe that's why the football coach caved.

If he followed the will of his constituents…he did his job.

Conviction to represent the will of your constitutes? I submit it as the best example of conviction in an elected official.

Well, no. 1, as the polling shows, it was not the will of his constituents.

It was at first. They evolved towards the end.

No. 2, if the will of your constituents is something that is as clearly wrong as this was, Not wrong at all. a true "man of conviction" would ignore it, And the true term limit solution of voting would rid him from there representation…as it should. do the right thing and follow the process and suffer the consequences in the next election. I am happy he did what he did and am happy to support him.

The point is that Tuberville didn't get elected to thwart the promotions process in the US military.

He did get elected to stop taxpayer funded abortion. His people were with him…they just caved in the end. He conveyed there will each time.

It's difficult to believe you come on here and defend nonsense like this.

And you are a prime example of what is wrong with America and why the divide is so deep. I don’t want any “I know better than you what you need” politicians. trump has rotted republicans' brains to the point that just about anything goes, no matter how stupid it is.

You come on here almost everyday and prove even stupid people can make it as an attorney.

You really think his constituents hate the military?

That’s rich. You regularly advocate for just such a result. You consistently demonstrate that you are not libertarian in your views despite your protestations to the contrary. The saving grace is that anyone who has been on this forum for any length of time recognizes that such statements by you are complete bullshit . . . to use a veterinary term of art.

That is not me. I was for allowing the union. I objected to using the word marriage except between a man & woman…like thousands of years of precedent set. The sex thing…don’t know what you are talking about.

The state knowing better rape victims, and those who have medical risk pregnancies giving birth.

The child deserves a voice. It is heathen to think otherwise.

The state knowing how to treat gender dysphoria over medicine and child’s parents.

There is no proof “gender dysphoria” exists. I certainly want rational people advocating for children before they are even old enough to understand.

Just a few.
