With Murkowski's Announcement, Amy Coney Barrett's SCOTUS Confirmation Is Assured
Okay, I might have overreacted toward Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), but her vote to not enter an executive session in the Senate regarding the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett should have raised red flags for everyone at the time. This is the weak sauce caucus, folks. Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins (R-ME) are the three amigos when it comes to making trouble within our ranks in the Senate.

That will generate even more tasty tears of anguish...mmmm
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Maybe Mitch told her that if she didn’t vote yes she would become the new Chairwoman of the Office and Bathroom Supply Committee.
Can’t blame you.
The Coffee Girl, and they would give her roller skates.
She knows Trump is winning and doesn’t want him in Alaska campaigning against her
I’m pretty sure she knew what side her bread was buttered on.
There is a limit.
At least there is video of her claiming she will vote yes, hope this direct link works for you:

Well, well, well. My illustrious Senator is actually doing the right thing and what Alaskans want. Many of my friends and oil industry colleagues wrote her scathing letters...none of us will likely vote for her again, purely because this was an issue AT ALL. Thanks, Lisa. Enjoy your last term.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Romney stab us in the back, just for grandstanding.
Trump brilliantly nominated a charismatic Judge with impeccable credentials, making it nearly impossible for GOP women Senators to vote no.
Palin recently threatened to primary her in 2022 if she didn’t vote yes on Barrett,
Mitt was a Yes last time I heard.
I bet you she didn’t suddenly decide to do this on her own.
A recently as yesterday she confirmed she hadn’t changed her mind.
I bet Senate leaders approached her and said, if you do this, we are revoking all your committee chairmanships.
She’s always big talk.
It’s extortion. Mitch made a deal. This is how I see her.
actually your idea makes more sense than mine, i changed my mind
She knows how to play the game. She and her father have had their fiefdom for decades.
I think these three caved and wanted the confirmation process to come after the election, but since they failed on that, I’m hopeful they won’t actually vote against Barrett.
