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

Posted on 10/02/2018 12:20:14 PM PDT by mtrott

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.

"Nope, taken out of context.

Fake news.
"

Yes. That, too.

I think he is just flaky. Whose not to say he wasn’t advised/coached by McCain and Grant Woods who was AZ’s Atty General at one time.

Flake is throwing a temper tantrum and making others feel miserable. He doesn’t care about the truth only that he looks good in the eyes of women.

He makes me want to puke.

Never has there been a senator with a more appropriate surname.

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

Agreed.

This is just fake hand-wringing and artificial due diligence. He wants to appear as though he is thorough and fair, but the entire premise is illegitimate and deceitful.

Flake's performance is worse than sophomoric. He must think that we are completely stupid.

Flake is evil, demented, full of hate, ignorant, anti- American and a disgrace to decency.

Flakester groping for ways to justify reneging on his statement that he would vote to approve.

Democrats got to him with something - big money, evidence of criminal activity, promises of big rewards down the road.

Only Flake and the people who co-opted his vote know.

Attorney General Kavanaugh has a nice ring to it.

I think what we witnessed with Flake is his departure from the Republican party and his welcome to the Democrat party. He did all of this for his new fellow democrats - I suspect he’ll be running as a dem for something very soon. He knew he was finished as a Republican.

Not sure what his current plans are but they surely don’t include politics

If not, how do you explain his second trip to New Hampshire a couple of days ago and his previous suggestion he's running for President? Maybe he's just interested in making trouble for Trump?

Y'know, because Democrats aren't partisan, only Republicans are.

And Schumer has just said that Kavanaugh’s behavior before the Senate makes him unfit to be on the Supreme Court. Things are being said that cannot be taken back. When do the flash mobs start harassing Schumer? The viciousness and violence of the Left is everywhere. Attacks must be answered in kind. This total war must be put down.

The TV news doesn’t cover the fact that Fraud’s 4 witnesses will not back her account of what happened.

When people are informed of this fact Kavanaugh’s public approval for the court goes up by plus 20 percent to 57 percent desire to see him get chosen for the Supreme Court.

There must be a “truth in reporting” standard for FCC licenses. Fake News is anti American. Railroading people is anti American.

We need new libel laws and new laws to prevent false police accusations

Cui Bono?

Who is he planning on working for? That will lead to who is or has promised to pay him.

I don’t believe Never Trump is enough of a principle.
