He’ll make McCain look like a winner.
Exactly. Petty Flake the Fake.
You don’t know enough about Arizona to speak the truth about it.
There is not enough time to expel Flake from the committee.
This could be a godsend if the following things result from this:
If it spurs the following changing of the rules of the Senate: (It would have to be next congress)
a. The majority leader could call up a floor vote for anything for which a vote was taken in the Committee (in this case it could be Judiciary but I would extend it to other Committees). This eliminates a rogue Senator holding up appointments.
b. Change the debate time on the Senate floor for various levels. Cabinet heads and Supreme Court justices - 20 hours. There could be categories of people requiring 8 hours and some requiring 4 hours and others requiring 2 hours. The time is to be split 1/2 Rs and 1/2 Ds. The majority gets to go last . One side can choose to limit its remarks and choose to not use its full allotted time. The use of time of course can be waived by mutual consent of the majority and minority leaders. (I am fine with unanimous consent).
c. Eliminate the mandatory day(s) between the judiciary committee vote and the floor vote.
d. Eliminate the cloture vote for any votes that require a just a majority (or 50+VP) to pass. That is a duplicative vote and a waste of time.
e. If there remains a requirement to pass a Committee vote before being voted on then change the composition of the Committee to have a +2 majority. This eliminates a rogue Senator.
I have no idea why McConnell will not remove Flake from the Committee and replace him with another Senator (my suggestion would be Kyle). Perhaps there are rules that are in place that does not make this practical.
Is that your caption? Frankly, brilliant. And the answer the photo suggests is under the table someone’s put a vise grip on his balls. Probably one of the plumbers who have a copy of his FBI file.
That is certainly allowable and it has been done in the past. Take the gloves off
McConnell keeps his balls hidden at times but he’s got ‘em!
Good on Grassley - it takes the attention away from the Flaky attention whore....and once he’s gone, things will go so smooth that he won’t have left even a bump in the road.
The son-of-a-bitch is no good.
Exaxtly. He’s a jealous little baby who wants to be as cool, wealthy, and successful as Trump but knows the possibility doesn’t exist.
And take all of his friends & family with him.
