I think her task was to send a message to Murkowski and maybe a few others. I don’t think it worked, as Murk still will vote, “no”. It wasn’t a kick-ass speech, but it did cover some facts that otherwise may not have been known. It had more value than not.
I especially liked her pointing out the absurdity of the drugs and gang rape scenario.
Murk is voting ‘present’ so Daines can be at his daughter’s wedding.
