One thing I think people keep missing is that the entire military still is operating with no detriment. They still have people filling positions and acting with the authorities the position holds.

This inconvenience doesn't impact day to day operations.

Senators should have this ability to hold things up. If we make the statement they can't then we open ourselves up for ridicule when the situation is reversed.
