GOP Senator: It’s Time To Confirm Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee
dailycaller ^ | 10/21/16 | Kevin Daley

Posted on 10/21/2016 8:43:09 AM PDT by ColdOne

Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake told reporters that Senate Republicans should take up the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to succeed the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Though Flake consistently supports putting Garland’s nomination up for a vote, Thursday he implied Republican nominee Donald Trump was likely to lose the November election. Therefore, the Senate should confirm Garland before Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has the opportunity to nominate a younger, more liberal

Everything about FLAKE is wrong. EVERYTHING ....First name of JEFF should have been SNOW and A FLAKE living in ARIZONA soon melts, finding himself no more than a puddle on the floor. A NEVER TRUMPER, a NON AMERICAN, a sold out piece of garbage awaiting the trash truck due for pick up. One of the many President Trump has scheduled working in the streets when he begins doing THE PEOPLE’S BUSINESS!

Jeff the Flake strikes again.

WHY would anyone with so many strikes against his record (Merrick Garland) even be considered by any person genuinely concerned with the principles enshrined in the Constitution?

This was perhaps the most moderate candidate that the Current Occupant of the White Hut could bring himself to even nominate, and Merrick Garland is STILL way over there in the fever swamp.

what is wrong with Arizona conservatives - Flake and McCain?

Bigger question: What is wrong with Arizona voters?

The only time to approve of Obama’s nominee, who was chosen because it was felt that this moderately Leftist judge could get through the Republican Senate, would be if Hillary wins - so as to prevent an even worse Justice from being named after he is withdrawn.

Now is NOT, NOT, NOT that time.

Flake is, well, a flake.

Jeff Flake should just turn in his GOP membership. An absolute embarrassment.

Here’s a thought, Flake. Maybe you should have the vote and turn the guy down while you still have the senate majority.

If the Democrats take the Senate then it will be judicial Armageddon even if Trump wins the Presidency.

Under the 20th Amendment, the new Congress takes office on January 3 but the new President does not take office until January 20. That means that if Trump is elected President and the Democrats retake the Senate, then Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer will have almost three weeks to push through ratification of all of Obama’s nominees from the Supreme Court down to the district courts and all of the federal agencies and there will not be a damned thing that Trump or the Republican minority will be able to do to stop it.

When Harry Reid unilaterally abolished the Senate filibuster for all Presidential appointments except for the Supreme Court the ONLY reason that he left Supreme Court filibusters alone is because there were no Supreme Court vacancies at the time. Chuckie Schumer will unilaterally abolish the Supreme Court filibuster 5 minutes after he takes office.

It gets worse. Scalia’s Supreme Court seat is not the only Supreme Court seat at issue. The day after the election, far-left octogenarian Justices Ginsburg and Breyer will announce their retirements if it means that Obama can fill those seats as well. They probably already have the young far-left wing radical replacements picked out. That will mean a far-left wing Supreme Court majority of Obama appointees will be legislating every aspect of our lives for the next 30 years.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
