9. A bright idea

Why don't the Democrats in the Senate put a hold on all military promotions until those officers are disciplined. You know play hardball like THEY do all the time.
Enter the names of all the officers into the Congressional record.
There are many effective Democrats in the Senate. But they aren't in the leadership.
At the moment the Senate Democrats look like a combination of a mime act and an interpretive dance act rather than an opposition. It is not a good look.
