Jeff Flake: ‘We Can’t Have That on the Court’
The Atlantic ^ | 10/02/2018 | Elaina Plott

As the Senate awaits the results of the FBI investigation into the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Jeff Flake, one of the lawmakers who spurred the inquiry, criticized the judge Tuesday for his recent appearance in the upper chamber.

Speaking with Jeffrey Rosen, the president of the National Constitution Center, and Democratic Senator Chris Coons at The Atlantic Festival on Tuesday morning, Flake called the judge’s interactions with lawmakers “sharp and partisan.”

“We can’t have that on the Court,” said the Arizona senator, who didn’t elaborate on which interactions he was referring to.

WTH is wrong with Flake? "We can't have" partisanship on the court? What? We already have rank partisanship on the court -- see Ruthie Ginsburg.

That’s it. He’s a ‘no’.

He doesn’t even care about the investigation now.

Is he nuts? Well yes. The SCOTUS is very sharp and partisan.

flake was never going to vote yes. He is only interested in sticking it to Trump.

I was thinking more of the open racism of the “wise latina”.

Nope, can't have a conservative who defends himself against salacious charges.

Nope, can't have that says a "man" in name only.

McConnell just needs to ignore Flake. I think he’s PO’ed a lot of people, including perhaps a number of liberal GOPers and even some Dems because of his self-righteous, smarmy attitudes.

Flake has kept moving the goal post.
Time for The Turdle to move on from Flake
and do whatever is necessary to get Collins
and The Cowski votes.

He’s either being paid off or he’s trading favours for a future payoff.

We will find out that payoff come November.

Flake is and has committed political suicide. Not sure what his current plans are but they surely don’t include politics. The chance of him winning at a national level is less than Gary Johnson, Kascich, or Fiorina.

Doesn’t anyone have dirty pics of Flake with a midget or something? ANY thing to get this talking back hole to shut UP!

And... these comments were about Kavanaugh’s testimony to the hearing Thursday... AFTER WHICH Flake said he’d vote YES.

Need a couple GOPers to get in his face and scare that pathetic little pu$$y back the other way.

And this is a prime example, Flake-y, as to why your polling for re-election was mired around 20 percent. Don’t worry, you can join your cohorts Pelosi and Beto here in Austin later in the month for a love-fest.
