This, exactly. The British were awful before and during the American Revolution, but Benedict Arnold, who sold out his own people, was much worse.

sdyWhat a POS this guy Flake is .
https://thehill.com/blogs/floo...tter_impression=trueSen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced Wednesday that he is canceling votes on nearly two dozen of President Trump’s judicial nominees that were expected to come up in the Judiciary Committee this week.
The cancellation of the committee’s Thursday business meeting comes as Senate Republicans are in a standoff with outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who has vowed to oppose all court picks until he gets a vote on legislation protecting special counsel Robert Mueller.
The notification from the Judiciary Committee didn’t specify when, or if, the committee votes on the nominations would be rescheduled. Six circuit court nominees had been expected to get a vote, as well as 15 district court nominees.
Republicans hold a 51-49 majority in the Senate allowing them to move Trump's nominees despite Flake as long as the remaining 50 Republican senators remain united.
But on the Judiciary Committee Republicans are limited to a 11-10 majority meaning they need Flake's support unless they can get help from Democrats.
"We can vote on all the people who cleared the committee," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the No. 2 Republican senator and member of the Judiciary Committee. "But in terms of getting a vote out of committee we need his help."

Il CattivoScrew Flake. The Senate's 53-47 when it comes back in session, and the House doesn't vote on nominees.

HunthelpI hate the day I voted for this POS.
I suspected he was a POS, but several folks I respected assured me he was “bonified” and a good choice.
Given AZ politics, I’m listening to my gut from here on out.
Please accept my apology for having voted for this maggot.

Yep. This mofo is totally irrelevant, now. Good on Grassley to essentially say, "Fuck you, Flake! The cutain is coming down on your show, asshole."

jigray3Flake has an epic sense of self importance. Rumors have it he is considering a run for President in 2020. A part of me hopes he does. Voters will trim that ego down to size but quick.

Il CattivoHe'll get his in some form or fashion. He's not a Democrat, so the Democrats don't give a damn about him, and he's not a Republican, so the Republicans are thoroughly pissed off at him.
Like I said, the fool is a joker that only MSNBC could love.

HayesGreenerI don't understand his motives. Is this somehow a personal grudge over the Trump/McCain flap?

Easy. He’s a RINO. ‘Nuff said. Fucks Trump because he doesn’t like him and now that he’s a lame duck it gets even worse. Arizona is cool with this as we’ve seen from the recent election.

He wanted legislation that would usurp the power of the executive branch? He's a true genius.
Buh-bye Flake. Boy do you own your name well.

sigmonkeyI can understand and support justification with good, reason based on fact and logic, the protection from prosecution, for those who may have been caught up in situation by no real intent or fault of their own. But someone who has continuosly and purposefully done things that are prosacutable, then I want all of that information known by an impartial panel, or panel that has interest in the issue, to be equal in the discovery.
I do not like, nor think "you have to pass it to find out what's in it" sort of protections be offered beforehand.
Sometimes the pain is part of the process that causes people to refrain doing things they ought not.

grumpy1I am sure the Flake is devastated that President Trump will be working with 53 republican senators very soon.

as an Arizonan, we are NOT cool with the results of the election. So much fraud and fake ballots. But I doubt we will get an investigation.
Just hoping that once Jon Kyle's term is over, McSally will be appointed for the remainder
