Twitter: Murkowski will not vote to confirm SCOTUS nomination before inauguration
Alaska Public Media ^ | September 18, 2020 | Liz Ruskin

Alaska's @lisamurkowski said today she won't confirm a new SCOTUS justice until after the inauguration day. Fair is fair, she says. My colleague @kcgrove will have a story shortly.

By tomorrow there will be five or six RINOS who will not confirm.

Murkowski, Romney, Collins, Linda Graham, and one or two others.

RBG is dead, and a nomination is dead until 2021.

Mittens would like nothing better than to stick it to Trump on this.

Still makes sense to put up a nominee. Put EVERYONE in a tough vote. Enough games. Unless Trump thinks it’s in his favor to hold off. The only person in Washington who deserves the benefit of the doubt is Trump.

This is a test of McConnell's leadership.

He should remove her from all committee assignments as a show of strength.

Collins is toast, so she might as well go for it given that she voted for Kavanaugh.

Beltway theater. She’s covering for McConnell and Graham. Now they’ll come out and tell us how much they want to confirm Trump’s pick but “so sorry we don’t have the votes.”

If her replacement is held off until after the election, then her passing makes this election EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER!

Serious? I knew she, Romney and Collins were unreliable.

Trump can still nominate. If the RINOs want to pout that’s up to them....

WE have to move now, Trump could win and we could still lose the senate or have the margin fall so far that we’d basically have nominate a RINO. We can afford to lose Collins, Murkowski and Romney. We wont get a single Democrat. The question is can we keep 50 together?

Hasn't Mr. Murk hung himself yet?

Very telling about those that take an oath to protect and defend our Constitution ... they have made it a jigsaw puzzle to feather their own personal nests.

Fair is fair?

Liberals are already busily editing the Merrick Garland Wikipedia page to suit their revisionist history. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Merrick_Garland_Supreme_Court_nomination&action=history

She’s more than just a RINO. She owes her seat to deep state election fraud.

Romney is pro-life. Murkowski is not. And she didn’t support Kav.

But we can afford to lose 3.

If the GOP Majority Senate refuses to vote on a nominee until after inauguration day or votes down Trumps nominee, the GOP is finished.

If Graham refuses to vote on a nomination he is as good as gone.

My bet is that other GOP jackasses come to the front to block a vote ... just to protect him.
