Just as the annual Federalist Society convention is about to begin, George Conway (Kellyanne's husband) has formed a new group of more than a dozen conservative lawyers who believe the Trump admin is betraying the bedrock legal norms.

"We believe in the rule of law, power of truth, independence of the criminal justice system, individual rights and the necessity of civil discourse," the group said. "We believe these principles apply regardless of the party or persons in power."

Jeff Flake: "I will not vote to advance any of the 21 judicial nominees pending in the Judiciary Committee or vote to confirm the 32 judges awaiting confirmation until S. 2644 [the Mueller protection bill] is brought to the full Senate for a vote."

Here's why Flake's threat matters: Judiciary Committee is 11 Republicans, 10 Democrats. If Flake opposes all of them, it makes it significantly harder (not impossible) to get them out of Committee.
Add...
Flake: "With the firing of [Sessions], and, in my view, the improper installation of an acting attorney general who has not been subject to confirmation by this body, [Trump] now has this investigation in his sights, and we all know it."
