WASHINGTON Republican Party leaders may be insisting that they will install Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, but Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is offering a blunt warning of her own: Do not prejudge sexual assault allegations against the nominee that will be aired at an extraordinary public hearing on Thursday.
We are now in a place where its not about whether or not Judge Kavanaugh is qualified, Ms. Murkowski, a key swing Republican vote, said in an extended interview in the Capitol Monday night. It is about whether or not a woman who has been a victim at some point in her life is to be believed.
One of two Republican woman in the Senate who supports abortion rights Susan Collins of Maine is the other Ms. Murkowski was always expected to be a critical vote in Judge Kavanaughs confirmation process. But she is making clear that, beyond matters of reproductive rights, she is deeply troubled by Christine Blasey Fords story of a sexual assault by Judge Kavanaugh when she was 15 and he was 17.
In the interview, Ms. Murkowski emphasized how invested she is in assessing Dr. Blaseys story. She said she worked behind the scenes last weekend to ensure negotiations between Republicans and the accusers lawyers did not fall apart because of an arbitrary timeline. She canceled a meeting of the Senate committee she chairs on Thursday to ensure her schedule was clear.

Lol...refresh my memory. Who is SpewMore?
Larry, I hope you are correct. I hope that Murkowski, Flake and Collins are just putting on a show for the voters back home.
Chuckie Spew More Schumer.
Thanks.
SpewMore = Chuck Schumer according to the chart on LS’ twitter. I just checked since I didn’t remember.
Yeah. A cheap plastic one, not a marble one. :-)
TY
Its fitting enough
“Yertle told the Values Voters summit that there would be a vote on K early next week and he would be confirmed.”
What? The Friday vote won’t proceed as scheduled?
As a mother of 2 boys, she should be careful of what she asks for. They could easily be accused of a false charges that people are supposed to believe according to feminists.
Friday is committee.
Saturday will be talk on floor of Senate.
Then cloture.
Then final confirmation Monday/Tuesday.
“Yertle doesnt usually make promises if he doesnt have the votes.”
I think he’s confident that a few of the Rats will do the right thing. Some of them are between a rock and a hard place. They have the “D” next to their names, but PDJT has made the lives of their constituents much better, and these are the guys whose votes matter to the senators. (What to do? What to do?)
Ah. Thanks. Hulk get it now.
Glad you asked. Sometimes I see these twists on names or just initials and I have to rack my brain to see if I can figure out who it is. I wouldn’t have gotten Chuck Schumer out of SpewMore in a hundred years.
Must confirm.
Must suit up to protect from debris of exploding lib heads.

see this??
sure would be good for the senate aides to find this guy and ask him some questions - either he’s got a good imagination or information..
Spewmore is Schumer, right?
BTW, I love the nicknames!!
Perhaps this is why DiFi was reluctant to believe her schemer Blowsey:

“I can be a witness but it wouldn’t end well for her. I knew Chrissy Blasey for a long time. She posted on her Facebook that someone should accuse justice Gorsuch during his hearings of RAPE! I told her false accusations are an immoral crime. She said “SO””
