Sen. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) said that he plans to vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court "unless something big changes," according to the Associated Press. Earlier Friday, he voted yes on advancing the nominee in a procedural vote.

The comments to reporters came as Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska indicated she would be a "no" vote this weekend on the nominee, after voting "no" on the procedural vote.

“I believe he is a good man,” she said of the nominee, but “in my view, he’s not the best man for the court at this time."

Add this into the mix: Republican Senator Murkowski says has not decided final Kavanaugh vote

From Reuters:

"U.S. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who is considered a key vote in whether or not Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, said on Friday she had not made up her mind on what her final vote would be.

“This has truly been the most difficult ... decision that I’ve ever had to make,” Murkowski told reporters. “I believe he’s a good man. It just may be that in my view, he’s not the best man for the court at this time.”"

Then why did she vote 'No' on cloture? That makes no sense.

Keep Flake away from all protestors, elevators, or his butt buddy Chris Coons.

Murkowski has decided. Don’t kid yourself. She’s a traitor and she was finally forced to tell us so.

I think Mukowski heads the Senate’s Energy Committee. Turtle should whip her into shape or take away her Chairmanship. Period.

A vote against Kavanaugh is a vote in favor of Mob Rule. Three is now no other way to look at it.

It looks like it is coming from Warren now. The FBI doesn’t exonerate Kavanaugh and there is evidence he lied under oath. No specifics can be divulged.
