Are you in mourning?

SenMikeLee Yea I'm worried shout separation of power also. The Repub. Congress hasn't been asserting its obligation to question the actions of the Executive branch. You've been trump rubber stamp. Inexcusable! History will treat you harshly!

headbangerpa Great. Love to see Flake go out in defeat!

Everything republicans say and do now in Trump era is going down in history. Nothing they say or do later on will change that. There is no honor that comes with foresight. They see a big chunk of candy in front of their noses and nothing more. Good guys, think!

Two idiots of the worst kind elitists that forget who they work for and why they work for them!

Good. Very good.

JeffFlake must not understand separation of power. Congress or Senate trying to block a Constitutional right given to the Executive Branch is an equivalent of POTUS spending “the purse” which Congress has control. In the Senate, confirming & approving a judge all by himself.

There doesn't appear to be the same concern of separation of powers when it comes to the White House..

How about they reject these idiot judge choices!!!

If you remember Mike Lee was no fan of Trump at the GOP convention. Seems like he is a fan of the Constitution.

There is no need for a protection bill! Fake is an idiot. And the MSM is the problem. Do nothing but spread hate and lies.

Mike Lee likes Trump. He has a reserved spot in his backside for him 24x7 nicknamed the 'mushroom garage..'

Yeah, like the rest of their careers!

Hmmm Coons and Flake?

What the bloody hell are these twerps trying to do here mate?

What 'actions' has realDonaldTrump taken that warrants Mueller protection?

What a political positioning waste of time and money. Mueller is free to do this B.S. investigation..with or without this phony law. He needs to wrap it up and jail whoever he wants to jail. It isn't going to be Trump. Enough, already. CongressSucks

Mueller is not the Cavalry.

Donald Trump: 'Today I'm signing an Executive Order declaring myself President for life.' Congressional Republicans: 'We are very concerned about the President's latest statement. We will be taking a very hard look at these matters and may take action if it is warranted.'

senatemajldr would sell his mother to the devil for a corn chip. No surprise. Oh how I wish Mueller can get something on McConnell🤣😈

So now they care about separation of powers? What a joke.

He is concerned about the separation of powers? Has he met Trump

Mueller isn’t going anywhere, not until realDonaldTrump and his family are securely imprisoned!

Obstruction of Justice In all GOP DNA.

The Checks & Balances of this democracy have failed...We are looking at Obstruction of the administration of Justice by a sitting President..McConnell, instead of checking this corrupt behavior, is encouraging it...What now!! We MUST MARCH on Washington..

GOP Senator Tim Scott opposes Trump's judicial nominee, ending his chances of confirmation'I am ready and willing to support strong candidates for our judicial vacancies that do not have lingering concerns about issues that could affect their decision-making process as a federal judge,' Sen. Tim Scott said about Trump's nominee. Thank you. Please! Judges are supposed to be honest above reproach and non white supremacist. What is Scott's concern about the Judge? That he won't get any publicity if he votes for him? Or, could it be, the GOP will not fund him unless he makes waves for the GOP and POTUS?

On the way out, Sen. Flake calls McConnell's bluffThe Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed a series of judicial nominations due to a standoff from Sen. Flake over passing legislation to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller. No worries, that month will be made up with a bigger Senate majority, both in the main chamber and in the committee. Bye Flake! Bye Kamala! Would have been nice if Flake has found his balls before this. We could have protected the mandate and blocked Kavanaugh . Great timing Jeff.
