Flake lives up to his name
Senator Jeff Flake | 4/21/15 | Sen. Flake Az.

Posted on 04/21/2015 12:55:58 PM PDT by Don Corleone

Thank you for contacting me about President Obama's nominee for United States Attorney General. I appreciate receiving your comments on this matter.

As you may know, on November 7, 2014, President Obama nominated Loretta Lynch to replace Attorney General Eric Holder. On February 26, 2015, the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary voted to approve Ms. Lynch's nomination by a vote of 12 to 8. I voted in favor of her nomination.

I believe that elections have consequences and that elected presidents should be afforded a certain degree of deference in the presidential appointment process, particularly when the nominee is uniquely qualified. While I disagree with Ms. Lynch on a number of issues, including her views on the President's executive action on immigration, she is nonetheless well-qualified for the position.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so again in the future. I also encourage you to visit my website, which may be found at flake.senate.gov.

Sincerely,

JEFF FLAKE United States Senator

He is a total waste of bandwidth and a RINO in every way. By her own admission she will defy the existing laws. I guess for a LIV like Flake its ok.

By “a certain degree of deference”, he means “absolute deference”.

I live in Arizona. I would never vote for either of these senators, under any circumstances.

Why not print up a bunch and pass this questionaire around up encircle your answers and send it to your US Senator

Dear Senator
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .

The point being there is legislation enacted by congress that is supposed to be followed regulating immigration that any Presidential appointee is to follow who has been sworn to uphold and defend the constitution.

Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .

Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting these practices be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) . Should the senate abandon the 60 vote majority for the “nuclear option” used by Reid when majority leader of the senate to any such candidate to be Attorney General supporting the above by applying the simple majority Reid rule. But citing the Hanen court injunction ruling that would restrict the use of the Reid rule only when such a ruling by a Judge were made ? (Yes) (No)

Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ? Snould that also apply to any illegal convicted of a felony (Y)(N)

In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .

I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .Would you continue to support a Senator who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N) Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)

Should any American citizen which goes overseas to join a foreign entity fighting against the United States (such as ISIS) Be denied re-entry (Y)(N) and their citizenship revoked? (Y) (N) Should that person be charged with treason (Y)(N)

Very Truly Yours For Restoring the value of American citizenship and Conservative Government

So what does Obama’s crew have on Flake to get his vote for Lynch?

There has to be either blackmail or bribery afoot for all of these elected representatives to have betrayed us and yielded to the dictatorship.

I actually heard him say that elections have consequences a few weeks ago on a local radio show. He also said that they had to move forward past this.

Welcome to Arizona. I love it and I hope you will too. We have a vibrant community in Oro Valley. We are currently in the process of recalling city council members and the mayor, all I think, are republicans, who did a cloaked deal to buy a failing golf course and country club and stick us with the increased tax bill.

We’ll need your vote to vote out McCain too.

I was born in Mesa, lived 25 years in Higley/Chandler, went to CHS, ASU. AZ is my home, even if I’ve been stuck in OH for 30 years. Will be settling in Gilbert/Chandler.

I received the very same letter. Basically, he is saying "screw you, your opinion doesn't count".

Flake is a flake. He is McCain's Mini Me.

He sure ‘grew’ in office quickly. I remember when he was campaigner and doing the talk radio shows. He sounded very conservative.

Now that he’s in office, you never hear from him again and he’s sounding more like McCain every day.
