Ok, I lied. Schumer didn't find his balls. This comes after Tuberville "released" his hold on three-star and lower nominees.
“Today, hundreds – hundreds – of military families across the country can breathe a sigh of relief,” Schumer said. “The Senate has now unanimously confirmed hundreds of military confirmations that were held up for 10 months by a single person, the senator from Alabama. Thank God, these military officers will now get the military promotions that they so rightfully earned.”

No. Thank Tuberville. Otherwise you'd still be bowing to his dominion.
Tuberville made the announcement during a Senate lunch that he was backing off the military holds with the exception of fewer than a dozen four-star promotions. He said it was important that Republicans be united and not vote for a rules changes that would have allowed Schumer, a Democrat from New York, to bring up nominees en bloc.
Did Schumer not have the votes to make the rule change, or did he just not want to do it?
