Flake finally takes a stand

Senator Flake has announced that he won't vote to confirm any more judges until the Senate votes on a bill to confirm Mueller. He tried to bring it to the floor today but McConnell blocked it.

Since Senator Flake sits on the Judiciary Committee, which has a one-vote Republican majority, he has real leverage here. --Bob

I wouldn't count on Flake's gumption lasting much past his getting his usual handful of favorable press clippings for his independent spirit.

I think he's hoping his political career isn't over so he'll want to be seen as someone who is on the right side of Donny's inevitable (now that Democrats are getting subpoena power) comeuppance. --Bob

Yes, keeping the fab shoe tradition alive and well! Poor little thing still has some fabulous blue gladiator sandals with the tags still on. Here's hoping her feet don't grow much over the winter.

Well, damn. That one flew right over my head. :oops:
In my defense, I was all about shoes, not flakes.

Ha! Had to look him up. Wish I had known about him before. He would have been more apropos in my post than Norman Bates.

But, to answer your question: No. Actually, I'm Gallant! From Highlights Magazine! Glad to call Bob Mueller is a protégé of mine.

Course, my Highlights counterpart -- Goofus -- is with Trump and them. Bless their hearts.
