Just to be clear, Schumer could bring each nominee up for a vote individually. So no, it is not one person holding up nominations. Or the military can remove access to abortion and paid leave to do so.
"The Democrats and DoD could call for an individual vote on any of these nominations, but they have chosen not to because they don’t want to discuss the policy. Giving free annual leave — all expenses paid — for an abortion but not for the death of a family member is one of many examples of how the military has been politicized," Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told Fox.
The ball is in Schumer's court and he can get these nominees through quickly, but there would have to be a debate. Then a vote on record supporting these policies by guys like Manchin and Tester up for reelection.
Tuberville does not have the power to stop the nomination process, thus the OP is wrong.

It is one person holding up this nominations. Point blank period. All he has to do is stop. He is abusing the senate unanimous consent rules.
Do you think the senate has bigger things to handle than spending 2-3 days on each individual promotion? When Tuberville’s single handed blockade has gotten into the hundreds of nominees.
Has he provided a legislative solution to the problem? Hahahahah hell no.
All the GOP does is obstruct and theater
Is the bolded part of Luvints post true? If so, that is truly sad and disturbing.
