Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Friday that all but three GOP senators had signed onto his resolution condemning the House impeachment inquiry.
GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney (Utah) have not yet signed onto the resolution, according to an updated list of co-sponsors shared by Graham the day after he introduced the measure.
A spokesperson for Collins didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about whether or not she would back the resolution, which formally opposes the impeachment inquiry and urges House Democrats to hold an official vote on it.
A spokeswoman for Romney noted that he said on Thursday that he would look at the resolution.
"Id like to see a vote taken in the House to decide whether there is support for impeachment. Id love to see a more open process," Romney said.
Murkowski also told reporters on Thursday that she hadn't yet read the resolution.
The resolution also says the House should give President Trump "due process" including "the ability to confront his accusers" and that House Republicans should be able to subpoena their own witnesses.

So the Impeachment vote will be 51-49 in favor of removal.
They need 2/3rds. When Trump wins with 2/3rds of the electoral vote and a five point vote margin, it will be moot.

One of the girls has a fantasy male alter ego, "Pierre Delecto", kind of like Jan Brady's fictitious boyfriend George Glass.

I know our expectations of the GOP are low but its still hard to imagine why any senator wouldn’t be for the most important legal concept we have: due process.
These three foot draggers need to be dragged out the door.

What is it with Murkowski? Aside from being as ugly as Pelosi. She is a constant problem to even the wimpy congressional GOP.

As bad as Collins is any Rat who was elected would be 100 times worse. Remember, the Maine Rat Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Massachusetts Rat Party,proud home of Liawatha and 25% of “The Squad”.
