Jeff Flake said "I rise in favor of Flake amendment No. 176. We have had problems, obviously, with the VA. Phoenix, AZ, has been kind of ground zero for that. Part of the problem is that the VA has no strong prohibition against hiring felons, and we have had example after example around the country of their continuing to hire felons or those who have been disciplined by the profession. So this would simply require that they fire felons who are on their rolls. I urge support and yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
