If Flake votes “yes’ and Murk and Collins vote “no”, where does that leave us?

I’m still not certain about Manchin. I think he knows he’s finished if he votes “no”.

Collins was ok with the FBI report.

I think this was all arranged with McConnell.

Murkowski got to be the “no”.

And Collins got to be the one to make the big announcement that basically sealed Kav’s win.

Also Manchin. If he decides yes, then Collins not necessary but I think she’s a yes.

Its done. Collins will vote yes, Murkowski will vote no, Manchin is yes and VP Pence will break the tie with a yes. 51-50.

Kavanaugh is the new Associate Justice.

One thing Collins said in the past, and this is key, is that she didn’t believe Kavanaugh would overturn Roe v. Wade.

She was also satisfied with the FBI report.

Cautiously optimistic that she will be a yes.

The only excuse I will accept from Murkowski is that Kavanaugh gets confirmed and she says later that she wanted his confirmation (and opposition) to be “bi-partisan.”

If this holds then it’s up to Collins because I think Manchin flips.

If Collins, Manchin and Flake vote yes, doesn’t that get us to 51 without Pence?

If Collins and Flake vote yes and Manchin votes yes, then it’s 51-49 and Pence isn’t needed.
