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.

Collins is a million light years from being a perfect Republican,and Senator,but I can guarantee everyone that any Rat who were to hold that seat would be 10,000 worse.

IOW,as appalling flawed as Collins is she's the *very* best that we can expect from a filthy Rat Party cesspool like Maine.

Keith Judd got 40% of the vote in the Rat primary in the 2012 Democrat primary in West Virginia.

A no name, who was in prison at the time go 40% of the vote against the then President.

They could put up who they want in a primary, it wouldn’t work.

Don’t know the word meaning “worse than an uber narcissist” but I bet it’s preceded by the word “clinically” - as in “clinically insane”. Hard to believe the people who elected Bob Dole for decades like what they’re seeing.
