How are the actions of Sen. Tuberville not treasonous?

He was using the leverage available to him to make a political point. The problem is that we have a system that leaves military readiness open to the whims of a single politician, giving him the ability to do it.

On one hand, the republican nonsensical behavior is exposing a large array of weaknesses in our political system, which can enable proper change to strengthen it against these kinds of malicious exploits.

On the other hand, fat chance anybody actually does anything about that.
