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.

I want someone to jam a mic in their face and ask why. It such a simple straight restating of basic US legal principals, it damning that it does not get 100 co sponsors.

But...but...the MSM has been claiming for days that Republicans in the Senate were going to Remove Trump From Office.

How can this be?

I had just learned of conservative review liberty rankings. Collins is so bad she is on the deep end of Democrats! 6 conservative votes to 44 liberal votes!

Murkowski also told reporters on Thursday that she hadn't yet read the resolution.

Maybe some good Alaskans could read it to her staff over the telephone, or send her copies tied around a brick.

These three are hard core liberals and hate Trump. They must not win another term. Romney is the biggest pile of shi! of the bunch. He lied running as a conservative and relied on Trump’s vote to win. A real garbage Mormon.

Don’t think so. When they see they are nowhere close to removing POTUS I suspect that every Republican except Pierre will vote against it. I also suspect more than one Rat will vote no. I suspect it will be 56 to 43 or so.

The romney clan needs to just go away.

Romney’s dad was the king romping RINO, who proved more left than many in the Michigan demon party, who many would argue killed the Republican Party in MI for decades.

The current Rompy was more left than some of the demon party in MA, and truly drove the buss for socialized healthcare, and gay marriage. While an on-paper dicotomy, keep in mind it is the social left Rompy supported to the max, who have been driving the mass murder abortion bus for decades.

Question - If The Pres (Trump) has gone through an earthly living hell over false accusations derived from just visiting Moscow, what will the media and press do to an even wealthier Republican (even though a true RINO), who actually has been involved with building multiple 5 Star hotels within from .5mi-1.5mi from the Kremlin ???

You wanna make bets as to the handshakes and how much under the table dealing took place in these endeavors...

I'd bet everything I own that every single Rat in the House will vote to impeach and that every single Rat in the Senate will vote to remove. As for Collins...a vote to remove might improve her chances in Maine...the state,a suburb of Massachusetts,is hopelessly Rat.
