So, McConnell kept the Senate in session specifically to move on Trump's judicial nominees. Flake, who is on the Judiciary Committee, left DC so any nominees that have not been already approved cannot be voted out of committee for a full vote from the Senate.

Drain the swamp.

Glad this prick won't be around much longer. POS!

^^^^^^^

Oh, he'll be around. He's setting himself up as the anti-Trump hero to run in 2020.

Well named

I heard an interview of him on NPR. He is mentally ill.

what a POS

"Here’s the polling station where I’ll be observing the counting of votes tonight"



"Counting ballots in a tent in rural Zimbabwe by kerosine and candlelight. Democracy doesn’t get any better than this"

Can't McConnell remove him from the committee for inability/unwillingness to perform his duties and replace him with someone competent?

And he volunteered to run and was elected to represent the people. Vacations sometimes need to be set aside. I can't count the times I couldn't take vacation because there were more pressing matters.

He is a steaming pile of shit just like his traitor buddy McLame. He selfishly thinks of himself first and the country last. He is mad at Trump because Trump called him out and now he won't be able to spend his life in the senate paying lip service to the people of AZ while he compiles his personal wealth off of the backs of his constituents.

A lot of the GOPe guys in Washington think their personal grudge against Trump is more important than advancing a conservative agenda. And a good number of GOPe types don't even believe in the agenda to begin with. USA will continue its incremental path towards the left until we figure out a way to clean house in the GOP and elect candidates who are actual conservatives committed to advancing conservative government.

Life happens. Responsibilities take precedent. Sometimes we have to cancel vacations in the real world. Flake is a dung beetle buffet, and nothing more.

And I'm afraid that he and Romney are cut out of the same self-righteous cloth.

It's a pity to squander majorities when we have them.

Oh blow. He oughta resign right now then. I've had to cancel or postpone vacations or planned trips before for work. One time was even for my own wedding. That sack of crap deserves a shovel to the back of the head.

Agreed with those above. Check this shit out...I've had to (e-friggin-gad!! ) WORK over my scheduled vacation and reschedule it for another time. I whole-heartedly believe in God, Family, Work...in that priority. That mantra all changes, IMHO however, when you choose to enter the political spotlight BY FREE WILL and work FOR THE PEOPLE. Sunuvabitch should have his ass firmly planted in his assigned seat in the Congressional Hall.

This POS and the other POS McCain need to get the hell out of here!
Amazing that these AH's are pulling this on the American people.

Flake is the other "boil" on Az's ass!! What a two faced asshole!!

vacation ? The asshole is observing an election in Zimbabwe. (this isn't a joke)

As the Senate gears up for what was supposed to be a busy month of confirming the president’s judicial nominees, Flake has taken off for Zimbabwe.

The Senate normally takes a recess in August, but this year, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell decided to keep lawmakers around to confirm as manyconservative judicial nominees as possible, likely out of a fear Republicans could be without their majority after November’s midterms. Flake took off for Africa anyway, and because he’s on the Senate Judiciary Committee, none of the nominees who have yet to pass through the committee can be confirmed until he gets back. As James Hasson points out on Twitter, this could also keep Vice President Mike Pence from campaigning for Republican candidates, as he’ll need to stay in Washington, D.C., to break the 49-49 tie on nominees who have already passed through the committee and are simply awaiting a floor vote.

Flake will reportedly be absent for most of August, but he will be back in time to confirm the biggest judicial nominee of them all, Brett Kavanaugh

Could he be replaced? Regardless he needs to be stripped of all committee assignments.

Yeah, seems that party leadership should be able to boot him from the committee and replace him.
