Much ado about nothing!

McConnell can simply remove Flake from the committee.

I think Trump is trying to turn McConnell. When he invited McConnell to one of his stage events McConnell got more cheers and adulation probably than he has ever had before.

"The immensely unpopular Republicanhas [sic]"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The Founding States gave the Houses of Congress the express constitutional authority to expel “immensely unpopular” members on a 2/3 majority vote.

"Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member [emphasis added]."

Evidenced by Sen. Flake, the RINO Party probably uses such members as a front-end to fool ordinary Republican voters.

There is absolutely no legal requirement that the Senate Judiciary Committee pass it out for a floor vote. McConnell should just stick it up flakes wazoo and go ahead and hold the floor vote.

Or worse, Flake is upset because President Trump has cut off his supply chain of small children pouring over our Southern border. Either way, you guys are on to something.

Flake has his standards, however. No one younger than 3!

Jeff Flake is doing his best to make Benedict Arnold look like a hero in comparison to his actions.

I don’t usually wish bad luck to follow a person but I wish it on him for his intentional traitorous behavior as a Senator.

Committee votes aren’t even necessary. This is theatre. If they really wanted to push through judges hey could do it and there would be zero consequences

Every Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, when they had their chance to question Kavanaugh, urged him to request that the FBI begin an investigation. It was their talking point. That went over like a lead ballon, because alone, they didn’t have the numbers to stall the vote to move the nomination on to the Senate. All they needed was one Republican, and they chose the weakest one...the one they knew they could threaten and intimidate to do their dirty work for them. After all, he’s done it before for them. I hope one day we find out what it is they were blackmailing him over, and I hope his actions haunt him for the rest of his life.

Hopefully they learn the lesson. Don’t put Murkowski, Collins, Romeny or Paul on this committee if you don’t want his to happen again.

I normally don’t wish violence on our leadership but Flake is the exception. He truly deserves a good ass whoopin’ for his behavior.

May the fangs of a thousand rattlesnakes find his neck while he sleeps.

Senator Flake was mentored by John McCain.

'Nuff said.

No.

It is the Arizona Media, and the Arizona colleges and Universities.

A man who helped run Saint Jeffy’s Phoenix office just got hired by my company, it’s a BS community relations job.

I think I’m going to VOMIT.

Flake was a product of the GOP Senate leadership.
Try that as a Democrat and you would be out on your can in a week.
Flake is just one of many GOP Senators who thought they were more important than doing their job.
