Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski still has not announced her decision about U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Murkowski, one of just two pro-abortion Republicans in the Senate, is being lobbied heavily by the abortion industry to oppose Kavanaugh’s confirmation. With Republicans holding just a narrow 51-49 majority in the Senate, every vote counts.

This week, Murkowski told the Anchorage Daily News that she is watching the confirmation hearings and reviewing Kavanaugh’s writings, speeches and opinions.

“I’ve been very clear in terms of what my vetting process was going to be,” she said Wednesday. “So far I haven’t heard anything that is earthshaking, something that hasn’t been out there as a point of discussion before. But I know they really just started questions this morning.”

Of her personal meeting with Kavanaugh, Murkowski said this...

I don't particularly like Murkowski, but, I also would not get too hysterical. From the article / Murkowski:

“But I do think that there are people who have been made to fear that if Judge Kavanaugh is nominated, that the day he joins the bench, that Roe versus Wade is going to be overturned. That is just not possible,” she said.

She praised him for being “a person who is very critical in his evaluation of the facts as applied to the law.”

“… my review has concluded that this is somebody who looks very critically at the facts of each case and then works to apply the law to it,” she said.

Plus, the deep state is responsible for the fraudulent and ultimately disgraced prosecution of Sen. Stevens in the first place - which paved the way for Lisa.

“Why doesn’t this woman just get it over with and become a Democrat?”

Could you explain that line of reasoning? I have heard it said about a number of Republicans.

Would you prefer that the democrats take control of the Senate, as a result, and curse us with liberal activists for the next thirty years?

That is such brilliant logic!!!!

Her and Don Young, and Ted Stevens, would have never gotten elected if that weren’t the case.

Easier to keep those blood-thirsty mamas murdering as a Republican.

The party bosses will go to the nth degree to derail the likes of Palin, Bachmann, and Christine O’Donnell, but are just fine with Murkowski.

GOP Establishment needs a major overhaul!

Lisa Murkowski needs something you need to find out what it is before the vote and gives it to her. Otherwise, she will be in disfavor of voting for Kavanaugh. For Murkowski, it ain’t but a g-thing for her.

I think that Lisa will want a private jet like Claire McCaskill has. No point in settling for a few $million.

I hear she’s a RINO from way back up Alaska way.

I guess a solution would be Donald Trump endorsing Sarah Palin as her replacement.

“With Kyl we have 50, and likely 2-3 Ds will vote for Kavanaugh“

I doubt that. If this horrible woman and Collins are No’s l don’t see any Rats rescuing Kavanaugh. If we lose both it will be a disaster. Mitch better lock this up or it’s going to be spin out of control.

She’s a crook, she wants something, probably money, but she knows that this is the chance to cash in.

As crooked as her corrupt father who appointed her to his Senate seat when he left it to become Alaska’s Governor.

The Republican Party needs to be pro-life only and kick out pro-abortion people like her.
