(CNN)Retiring Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said Wednesday that he will not vote to confirm the Trump administration's judicial nominees on the Senate floor or advance them in the Senate Judiciary Committee if legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller does not receive a Senate floor vote.

Flake made the new judicial threat after he and Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, unsuccessfully attempted to force a Senate vote on the special counsel legislation Senate Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell objected to the request for a vote from Flake.
But the Arizona Republican's threats on judicial nominees could complicate matters in the Judiciary Committee, where Republicans have an 11-10 majority. There are currently 21 judicial nominees pending in the committee and 32 who are awaiting a floor vote, Flake said.

The problem with Jeffrey is that he says one thing and then turns around and does another

I only believe it when I see it, Mitch ain't going to allow that to happen

If Flake follows though on his threat there isn't anything that Mitch can do.

Why, he is only one vote, they still have the votes necessary, and the other GOP fence sitters are the same as Jeff, talk one game and do the opposite, it is only to save face with the moderate vote back home
 
"The President now has this investigation in his sights, and we all know it," Flake said.

Trump is still testing the water. He's not going to try it until he feels confident he can get away with it. And since the election Trump's likely feeling less confident.

Worse for Republicans are the Democratic Party of the Jackass?

By the new session, Republications will have a new 52 to 53 vote majority in the Senate making it much easier for them to pass judges.

Sounds like a whiner to me. The only one that was a bigger whiner that Flake was McCain and he's gone, too.
