Flake to halt judicial nominees until Mueller protection bill passed

I know this is silly, but wouldn’t replacing all committee members after retiring or losing on the first Monday following the election make sense.

[jazusamo]

Remember, both Grassley and McConnell have been stellar on President Trump’s judicial nominees.

[Ingtar]

Recess appointments are for one year and do not receive a salary.

[ModelBreaker]

Remove Flake from the committee, Sen McConnell.

[Mr. Rabbit]

Hopefully, Yertle can just foot-drag any “Protect the Dirty Roach” BS until the next session, at which time that fudgepacker Flake will no longer have a say in the matter. If there’s one thing we all know Yertle is good at, it’s foot dragging.

[SaveFerris]

wow

[Billyv]

Easy Peasy! Fire Mueller today, no need for legislation. Done MAGA!

[ez]

Remove him from the committee.

[PackersFan]

And this jackass thinks he’s going to challenge Trump in 2020? I’d write my own name in before I’d ever vote for this guy.

[italianquaker]

Not accurate when it comes to justices.
McConnell has been fantastic

[Electric Graffiti]

What a plus. They can’t block him on everything and they know he’ll be out in 2 years or less. That’s why most of them still support the corrupt state’s coup(Mueller) against Trump. They are POS. Every last one of them.

[bgill]

He’s a flake.

[Rummyfan]

President Trump should squash this traitor like a bug. And McConnell should have his office moved to the Men's Room for the remainder of his thankfully short time in The Senate.

Go away Flake! JUST GO AWAY!

[hinckley buzzard]

Senate rules do not require a committee vote before bringing a nominee to the floor. McConnell can work around this rat bastard if he has to.

[Eleutheria5]

Trump has no intention of firing Mueller, ordering anyone to fire Mueller, or limit Mueller’s “investigation”. He’s one of his foils. Nancy is another. Flake is another. Jim Acosta...well...he’s the uber-foil.

[Starboard]

McConnell has been fantastic

**************

I agree. I’m not a fan of Mitch but do admit he has pushed a lot of justices through and deserves credit for that.

However, I remain skeptical about what can be done in the short time left in the legislative session, especially given Flake’s latest tantrum and antics.

[bk1000]

Senator from Arizona...

[novemberslady]

They aren't going to let this guy call the shots on his way out
That isn't going to happen.

[jazusamo]

I have no doubt that when the cabal picked Mueller as SP it was intended to go past the midterm elections into 2019, every member of that cabal should be prosecuted for conspiracy to overthrow the presidency.
