Flake to halt judicial nominees until Mueller protection bill passed
The Washington Times ^ | November 14, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 11/14/2018 1:47:01 PM PST by jazusamo

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.

Thankfully Romney isn’t asking to be put on the Judiciary Comm. And now the Republicans have enough senate seats to block him, Collins, and Murkowski. Thank God!

Tell me this is not the same Flake that is considering a run against Trump.

How does that old saw go?

He may be mourned by a few other misfits. He'll be missed by no one.

"What’s the matter Jeffy, did some little girl Soros activist scare you in the elevator again?"

The reply of the thread. Yes, he's not only a Rino, but a sissy punk. I'll never forget that scared look on his face when cornered in the elevator. A MAN would have been pissed and at least have an angry face - Flake looked whipped into submission.

IMHO, the new Democrat Senator in AZ. is a wash. Both liberals. What's wrong with AZ. voters? I'm amazed they are still a carry State.

Flake’s gone in less than two months anyway.

How about him being called a backstabbing, egomaniacal SOB?

That’s just being polite to this POS.

Maybe Flake will become IRRELEVANT when the Mississippi Special Election for the ‘Thad Cochran Seat’ is filled with another Republican (albeit a RINO) named Cindy Hyde-Smith who votes with Chuck Schumer more than she votes with Trump!

Yep, he'll be gone soon but it's no coincidence this jackass made this announcement now, he's flipping the bird to conservatives as he's going out the door.

Senate will confirm Trump judicial picks, working through Christmas New Years Eve: Cotton
