Moved the nomination forward directly into the trash can, is my understanding. Good riddance-- in a congress known for confirming unqualified monsters, this guy was special even in context.
ReplyDeleteIt says that Jeff Flake is also not voting for (apparently any) nominees from the office of Individual 1, which I guess along with 49 democrats means a 51 to 49 majority in favor of having mr Farr piss off.
ReplyDeleteAt the rate Mr Flake is growing a backbone, he may be ready to try walking upright in another few hundred million years.
