Yep...This whole thing is over his hatred for President Trump, he’s like a spoiled teenager that’s told no and will do anything for retribution.

Might as well just wait until the POS is gone, and the new Senate is in session. I hope Flake has a very unmerry Christmas and New Year.

A man without a Party, holding a one-way ticket to Palookaville.

This clown should be booted from the committee. He’s gone in january. Even if he goes over to the Rats, it’s still 51-50 with Pence. They could replace him on the committee and still keep it 11-10 with a real conservative in there.

Exactly. The deep state sponsored proglibs play for keeps - no ridiculous ROEs for them. This POV not only projects what the left will directly achieve once back in power, but also hints at their long(er) term strategy to reverse the Trump SC.

IOW, they will suddenly (re)discover that Marshall in M vs M preemptively carved out rights & privileges for the court that simply don't exist. A dem president will simply declare the court non-democratic and challenge them to assert their power. With a uni-party Congress overtly supporting open borders, they won't have one iota of interest in pulling back the power of the executive. And so a conservative court won't matter when the rules are made by those unbridled by any institutional checks.

Which is why Trump needs to act now, because time is running out to defeat the deep state.

His seat went to a Bi-sexual Democrat.

Not much difference.

NC Judge who supports voter ID made it today.

Flake was quashed by Pence.

What an obnoxious, arrogant POS. Flake can’t be gone soon enough.

Arizona is changing, and is no longer a Red State.

Due to the fact that democrats are fleeing to Arizona from the socialist utopia of California and then voting for the same socialist crap that drove them out of California.

The vote still has to come before the full Senate.

If I remember correctly, the Republicans on the floor can change the committee rules.

Flake lives in my town, at least for now....I will be on the lookout for him. He will be getting a big piece of my mind when I spot him.
