Sen Burns (R-Mont) blocks DOD nominations

Obstructionist, I would presume? Where are the up-and-down vote supporters?

Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., is blocking all civilian Pentagon's nominations until the Defense Department makes it easier for members of the military serving overseas to vote.

Burns spokesman Derek Hunter said Burns decided to place the holds "in order to pressure the bureaucracy into doing the right thing for our military men and women."
