Flake: “It’s a Sad Day in the Senate” | 2013-11-21 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Republican | House | AZ | Jeff Flake | F000444 | www.flake.senate.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. – United States Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), today released the following statement on Senate Democrats’ vote to allow only for only a simple majority (51 votes) instead of a 3/5 majority (60 votes) to approve executive branch nominees and judicial nominees, with the exception of Supreme Court nominees: “It’s a sad day in the Senate when Democrats are willing to ignore 225 years of precedent to distract attention away from the failures of Obamacare,” said Flake. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
