Collins, Murkowski, Romney help break deadlock on Jackson’s nomination
The hill ^ | 04/04/2022 | Jordain Carney

Senate Democrats, backed by three GOP senators, voted on Monday night to break a deadlock on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination, paving the way for her to be confirmed by the end of the week.

Senators voted 53-47 to formally discharge Jackson’s nomination to the full Senate. It’s the first time the Senate has had to take the procedural step for a Supreme Court nominee since 1853.

GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney (Utah) voted with Democrats to make Jackson’s nomination available for a full Senate vote.

This headline is like saying the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

It would have been real headlines if they had decided to vote against.

When the NRSC called me last week I gave them an earful instead of a donation.

I told the guy I would not be donating as long as the money would be used to elect Assistant Democrats like Murkowsky and Amnesty Senators like Rubio and Hoeven.

Despicable!
They wouldn’t vote that way if Pelosi were their boss. They’d be afraid to.

Mitch makes the committee appointments and he knew what he had in these three…

This didn't occur in committee. The committee deadlocked and so it didn't report the nomination out to the whole Senate. This was a vote by the whole Senate to discharge the nomination from the committee to the floor of the Senate so it can be voted on. But yes, he knows what he has in these three, as do we all.

It sucks, but ultimately they don’t matter. Heels-up would have broken the tie for the 51st vote.

As someone else pointed out, this is good news as they aren’t even trying to salvage their next elections. They know they’re goners and just going to let their freak flags fly until their terms are over.

In case anyone is wondering how a President Romney would have worked out...

You’ll have to convince Trump of that path.
He’s the only guy with enough horsepower to do it.

Bush League Republicans are far more valuable with their R jersey camo on than if they took it off.

What deadlock? Not a single Democrat was going to vote against her. This is merely academic. 51-50 or 53-47 makes no difference.

And the 3 super RINOs are no surprise.

She’s not on the ballot again until 2026. They don’t even start worrying about elections until about 2 years out.

Same kind of people who repeatedly re-elect Amnesty Senators, despite their repeated betrayals.

I changed affiliation to independent when collins and snowe voted for cloture on Obama care. I have no regrets.

An event that literally never, ever occurred left such an impression on you that you changed party affiliations? Extraordinary.

Neither Snowe nor Collins voted for cloture. It is why the Democrats were forced to use reconciliation to pass it after Brown got elected in Massachusetts.

When Biden took up where Obama left off in destroying America he has not only destroyed the face of America and the liberty and fair justice of law but also destroyed the value of our constitution in supporting Americans’ rights with this liberal supreme court appointment.
