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.

If he defects...Trump MUST label him “SnowFlake”.

He’ll never recover from one word.

Wow! Forgot about Abe Fortas; was he the only SCOTUS justice ever to resign? Quite a quid pro quo between him and Landslide Lyndon going clear back to 1948. Some might even call it corruption.

Anyway, Flake’s smarmy attitude has reached seppuku level. In fact, Flake committing ritual suicide under the Capitol dome would be fun to watch.

Hope McTurtle sticks to his schedule & calls for a vote.

Flake is and has committed political suicide. Not sure what his current plans are but they surely don’t include politics.

Elected office is only one facet of politics.

Being on leftist shows spewing leftist nonsense while proclaiming you are a 'former Republican' is in politics, and pays handsomely.

Compromised, no doubt. That’s been evident for some time.

“He doesn’t even care about the investigation now.”

He never did...it’s a sham.

Flakes Hates Trump. All one needs to know. Trump could have nominated Jesus, and Flake would have objected.

That is a good point. Isn’t RBG the one who suggested using European law or some such thing to help determine the outcome of American constitutional cases?

“We will find out that payoff come November.”

Flake isn’t running since he was at 15% in the polls. My guess is he needs to set himself up for a lobbying job in DC. I can’t imagine him returning to Arizona. Too many of us would be tempted to go Maxine Waters on him!

It's time to say who cares what this idiot does. He's unreliable and just thrilled to be in the spotlight.

Take the vote. If Judge K. loses, he loses. But there will be hell to pay for any other GOPers (aside from loser Flake) who break ranks.

No one will have any respect for him again, not even the Dems.

It’s kind of like when a man cheats on his wife, gets divorced, and marries his lover. If he cheated on his wife, why wouldn’t he cheat on me?

I’m thinking payoff as CNN analyst or he’s been promised some sort of secure job after he’s gone in November.

“WTH is wrong with Flake?”

$$$$$$$$$$

He’s for sale. He basically announced it.

Trump can yank his security clearance once he leaves
Ban any K street firm that hires him from Federal contracts or
lobbyist efforts with the WH or Gop .

Revenge can be sweet .

What about having a Supreme Court Justice officiating a gay wedding before it came to the court?

The sanctimonious Judas Flake, AKA Saint Jeffy, is a very sore loser, a very bitter and jealous man.

He didn’t even make it through the first four years of his first senate term without blowing himself up to a less than 18% approval rating. He has no one to blame but himself. Every day he would make some snarky insulting remark about Trump, called Trump a liar, a racist, a misogynist etc.

He enraged the people of Arizona, most of whom LOVE our wonderful POTUS, Donald J Trump!!!

Both McCain and Judas snidely looked down their noses at Trump, treated him like a pig and vulgarian. I know McCain was INSANELY jealous of Trump because McCain was such a terrible loser POTUS nominee and Trump kicked Hillary’s gigantic @ss off the map. Judas is a dull normal stooge, I’m sure McCain poisoned his very weak mind every day re: Trump.

Judas blames Trump for his political annihilation and is going scorched earth during his final two months in office. Saint Jeffy is so out of touch with reality, he truly doesn’t understand why he’s the most hated man in America right now.

Currently Judas/Saint Jeffy has a NINE PERCENT approval rating in Arizona, LOLOLOL!!!
