Yes, Multiple outlets are reporting that Sen. Lisa Murkowski will change her vote from “no” to “present” during tomorrow’s final vote for SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh so that Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) can attend his daughter’s wedding and not have to fly back to D.C. to cast the deciding vote:



And from Andrea Mitchell:
Andrea Mitchell @mitchellreports



.@LisaMurkowski says since it will not change the outcome she will vote "present" instead of "no" tomorrow as a courtesy so that her colleague @SteveGaines does not have to fly back from his daughter's wedding in Montana tomorrow

Again, not even her BFF who Ford swore was at "the party" Ford can't remember where, whose house, how she got there, how she got home, etc., was willing to back her up.

Apparently not.

SC is a higher court than appellate.

SC is the most prestigious (at least it should be) and the highest court in the land - and the court of last resort.

Ergo, elevation to that court requires a higher bar - or should. 51 votes is wrong as it does not represent consensus.
And when the liberals will do anything to stop a Trump nomination to the SCOTUS & BEFORE they hear a thing...

That's what is wrong.

Senators already live in a bubble.
Letters and phone calls are filtered by aides.
Trump hides behind Twitter. So now everyone hides behind Twitter who is supposed to be accountable to American citizens.

They need to be spoken too face to face by the American people. If a Trump Republican Senator and a nominee for the supreme court can threaten more than half the country with revenge once he s seated...its on.

Elected officials are elected to serve the people who elected them. Duh. Trump Republicans and Republican Party are a minority in the United States citizenry.

Currently then a minority are ruling the majority. Its supposed to be a Representation of the people. Trump Republicans Do Not represent the USA. They take our money , keep it, move it around in a shell game, then do the bidding of a handful of people because they are " rich donors" ? What's wrong with my money? Not enough to represent my interests?
And they are all millionaires who work just over 100 days a year.

Might find out they have elected a Supreme who considers Torture OK.
Did you not watch the confirmation hearings?

Steve Gaines wont be going anywhere tomorrow. He tragically died in a plane crash in 1977.

Default Susan Collins: BRAVO your guts and common sense just inspiring

If you missed her speech you should look it up. Post it in every college in the land. Founding fathers are applauding from graves all over this land they fought and died for.

I know, I know, everyone is hiding in a bubble or being handled by someone else when things don't go a liberals way. Always blaming someone else for their lies and failures.Obama blamed Bush for his failed Presidency for 5 1/2 years.
