Just like Obama..how fitting..she knows she is officially irrelevant
“I do this because a friend, a colleague of ours is in Montana this evening and ... he’s going to be walking his daughter down the aisle and he won’t be present to vote,” Murkowski said. “I have extended this as a courtesy to my friend. It will not change the outcome of the vote.”
But we were told 100 times he was going to vote.
Way to go, Murky. You found a way to piss off everyone all at once.
Profiles in courage.
“But we know that in our role of advice and consent, it is not just the record itself. There is more that is attached to it,” she added, mentioning “matters of temperament” and “demeanor.”

That is the same statement put out by every democrat. Feinstein probably wrote it for her.
How is this different than a no vote?
I read elsewhere that a “present” vote will be tallied in such a way that a “yes” on the other side will be needed to override it.
And he's out when needed the most.
So this is what female leadership looks like. Don’t take a position if you are on the beading edge of a major vote. Giving woman the right to vote was a mistake, period!
Well, that ended her career!
She had been primaried out but the Bush League Republicans just HAD to have that amnesty vote.......
What the Hell is wrong with Alaska? Should we give it back to Mother Russia?
Yeah, and just whose fault is that, hmmmm?
Don’t trust her.
Daines needs to be there
What a dip-spit.
Put this cow out to pasture.
Daines, I wouldn’t trust her. She could scuttle the vote and you are sunk. Be there and vote.

“Note: A paired vote is absolutely not the same as voting “present,” which is tantamount to a no vote because it pushes up the total votes needed for a simple majority. Instead, it is literally not a vote at all, as if both senators are absent.”
You POS, he was falsely accused of assault and gang rape
What temperament do think he should use?
I would love to see Sarah Palin challenge her in the next primary.
If only we gain a couple seats in the Senate, McConnell can strip her of her committee positions. Unfortunately, both AZ and NV are not looking good, so even if we pickup ND and MO, we just break even. Any other gains are probably wishful thinking, unless the Kavanaugh circus really gets conservatives motivated enough to get off their asses and vote.
