Flake’s Revenge – Senate Cancels Votes on 21 Federal Judges After Jeff Flake Blocks Committee…
Outgoing U.S. Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona has given the American electorate the big middle finger for Christmas. Flake has followed-through on his vow to block more than 20 judicial nominees; forcing the Senate Judiciary Committee to abandon six federal circuit court nominees, and 15 federal district court nominees.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced Wednesday that he is canceling votes on nearly two dozen of President Trump’s judicial nominees that were expected to come up in the Judiciary Committee this week.

The cancellation of the committee’s Thursday business meeting comes as Senate Republicans are in a standoff with outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who has vowed to oppose all court picks until he gets a vote on legislation protecting special counsel Robert Mueller.


The notification from the Judiciary Committee didn’t specify when, or if, the committee votes on the nominations would be rescheduled. Six circuit court nominees had been expected to get a vote, as well as 15 district court nominees. (read more)

Legislation by the legislative branch to protect an unconstitutionally empowered entity in the executive branch? Really, Senator Flake?

SEPARATION....OF....POWERS!

Too quick. Breaking rocks with hand tools for the rest of his life would do.

The irony will come when Mueller is forced to reveal two years of witch hunt have revealed (wait for it) nothing. This is the guy he is trying to protect.

What an immature jerk to throw a temper tantrum like this on the way out. He doesn't deserve respect. Of course he is trying to establish his credentials when applying for a job at CNN or MSNBC.

A petty little man. He would make a good butt boy for O'dumbo.

Based on his actions he probably already is o’dumbo’s little bitch.

Why is everyone against this???

It seems to me that a Senate currently represented by R 51-49 is tenuous at best to confirm the 21 judicial nominees. The new Senate, come January will be R 53-47 and virtually guarantee a yay vote.

Flake announcing his RINO plan is actually tipping his hand for Grassley to respond accordingly. Thank you Flake for being a crappy poker player.

He's named right, imagine that family tree, very few branches, more like grapevine.

That's for sure, he's a total flake. Garbage like Flake and Sasse are driving this country into the ground. Traitorous POS. Other than being a petty little girl throwing a hissy fit, what does he think he's going to accomplish with this BS?
