Romney, Collins, Murkowski only Senate GOP holdouts on Graham's impeachment resolution
The Hill ^ | 10/25/2019 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Posted on 10/25/2019 3:15:47 PM PDT by grayboots

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.

"I’d like to see a vote taken in the House to decide whether there is support for impeachment. I’d 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.

What losers these three are. Trump isn’t entitled to due process?

Yes...but that’s because Mitt, being a Mormon, knows he will get his own planet after he dies, and it will be well supplied with complaint women who don’t look like Collins or Murkowski. (Mormonism is very similar to Islam.)

Collins projects herself as if she is some great thinker. Well, this isn't rocket science.

Collins will sign on and Murkowski, her boot licker, will follow. Then, the great one, Romney will rise and sign it as if he was the one who thought this was a good idea. He's already said he wishes it was more open. So this is just stage time for Romney.

Romney, Collins, Murkowski

They like to refer to these politicians as "independent". They aren't independent, they are controlled assets of the Deep State. So... the question to ask is WHY are they controlled? What is there to be learned about them? I'm so grateful the the QAnon movement for educating millions of us all around the world.

There needs to be some party discipline. There needs to be some accountability. Democrats ride herd quite vigorously. Primary them. Starve their cash. Look, after Trump, the Republicans should no longer feel that they can count on me. Trump should either remake the party in his image, or start a new one.
