Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) is reportedly considering using votes on President Trump’s appellate court nominees as a bargaining chip for demands on two separate issues.
CNN reported that Flake may block votes on the court nominations while he attempts to secure action on tariffs and travel restrictions to Cuba.
“We’re discussing it,” he told the network.
Flake is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Republicans hold a one-seat advantage over Democrats.
If Flake does not support the appellate nominees, it could compromise their nominations. Most judges are voted out of the committee along party lines.
However, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told CNN that he will not schedule votes on the judges until Flake has indicated he’ll support the nominees.
Grassley added that the Senate nominations calendar is full, and he does not feel pressured to vote on judges at this time.

Jeff Flake. All about any country other than his own. Jackass.
It just isn’t possible to find a decent individual to hold elected office in this country anymore is it?
The GOPe is a problem.
Flake should do the country a huge favor and end himself ASAP.
....I can think of two who live near each other in DC.
Thanks again AZ voters for the worst two GOP Senators.
Flake has always been a Uniparty hack but when the voters get wise and tell him to F off he really gets brazen. He’s trying to out McCain McCain.
Both Arizona senators are like that.
FUJF
Scarf, doorknob, some assembly required.
McTurtle has already been slow-walking a ton of nominees.
If Mitch would get on board with helping Trump he could kick Flake off of the committee.
These putrid bastards are getting the butts kicked SOOO bad. Trump is the greatest AMERICAN in history. This is far beyond the greatest president. The silent coup is in total shambles. We now put them in prison. Pathetic creatures, like flake, will dissipate like evaporating gasoline into nothingness except the stench.
If sleepy Sessions doesn't go after H->!, he should be put in chains for obstruction.
When Flake was in the House, he was a solid conservative. The minute he got to the Senate, he started "Flake-ing" out. The minute Trump dissed Flake's Mormon hero Romney, he turned into a complete traitor.
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Chuck Schumer’s jock.)
“while he attempts to secure action on tariffs and travel restrictions to Cuba.”
To clarify, Flake wants tariffs and restrictions lifted, benefiting the communist Government of Cuba.
Careful, Jeffey Boi.
President Trump might just accidentally utter “”Who will rid me of this petulant senator”, and your final six months could be rather unpleasant.
