Nah, Collins is giving a speech to explain her yes vote. Manchin will vote yes. Who knows how Flake will go, but it won’t *flaking* matter.

Murky owes Alaska Native orgs for her write-in election. Judge Kavanaugh ruled against Alaska Native corps in his DC court. Murky wouldn’t have supported him regardless.

Don’t buy that Collins will be a “no” vote. Her 3 PM presser will be to explain why she is voting “yes” citing the FBI report. At the same time she can express her fealty to the #MeToo movement. Collins has said that the FBI report was very thorough.

When Kavenaugh is seated, America should send a picture of the new Supreme Court with the words Thank You written in bold across the bottom - to Hillary Clinton.
Without her obvious corruption and complete unelectability we wouldn’t be at this historic point in time!
MAGA

“Manchin will not vote YES for confirmation tomorrow, as his vote would put Kavanaugh over the top with a tie vote, with Pence casting the tie breaker.”

Maybe they cut a deal where Murkowski and Collins vote no and Manchin votes yes and it helps all three in their reelection chances.

Her father was a crook thrown out of office by Palin.

Yup. Hence the animosity toward Palin and conservatives.

Murkowski will be hurt by a no vote. Trump won AK by 15%.

She’s up for re-election in 2022. So she’s not worried about that. I think the Democrats promised her a nice committee if she makes the jump.
