Sen. Jeff Flake announced Wednesday that he will not vote to advance any new judicial nominees through the Judiciary Committee, nor will he vote to confirm picks on the Senate floor, until he gets his way on unrelated legislation to prevent the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mr. Flake made the announcement on the Senate floor minutes after his bid to pass the bill failed.
His threat could block the committee from approving any more judges this year, since the GOP only holds a one-seat majority on the panel.
It’s less catastrophic to approving judges on the Senate floor, where the GOP holds 51 seats. Even losing Mr. Flake, Republicans could still approve judges on a 50-50 vote with Vice President Mike Pence breaking the tie.

Bump!
But he may have a tough time holding up his pants he’s so incompetent.
An a-hole to the last.
He’s gone in January. Eff him...
There is no end to the douchebaggery of this prick but he’s just doing what McCain would have done.
You’re right on in my book.
At least Ms. Enema won’t have the seniority to do anything so dastardly for the next 6 years.
Flake and Kasich. Which one will prevail against Trump in 2020? LOL
Ha! Those two turkeys deserve each other. :^)
Note to Flake - McConnel can ignore you.
Just wait for out. It’ll be fine
Flake is just taking up where McCain left off. Neither was a real Republican from the beginning, just two egotists.
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE CARE OF FLAKE SO THAT WE CAN PROGRESS IN THE SENATE - SOMETHING BESIDES KNOCKING THAT SILLY LOOKING “ASS SAT ON BROKEN” NOSE OF HIS OFF THE FRONT OF HIS FACE!
Flake is such a jerk...
They can. They will not - ever.
The Senate voted 100% to deny Trump that earlier. 100%. Forget McConnell, McCain, Flake. That means: Cruz, Lee, Paul.
There are no true Constitutional conservatives who respect the will of the people.
Our representative government is a sham.
This is why the Democrats worked so hard to steal Senate races. With 3 or 4 more Senate wins the GOP could’ve thwarted any nonsense like this. Now, we’ll only have a 2 or 3 seat buffer against RINO turds.
Take Flake off the committee. He never should have been on it to begin with. Put a normal person to replace him.
I’m not so sure McSally was much different as well.
He is such a worthless, gutless piece of sh*t.
Flake has been a loser all his life. It will be a good day when this man is put in the ground like his BFF McCain
