Here we go again folks. Collins and Murkowski are against it and Mitt might be? Sound familiar?

[pwb]

They are paraded out every time the Pukes want to let all the other Pukes off the hook. A diversion that works every time with the Media. Never mind the others. Same Same.

[MiniMe]

1. Mitt has already said he will vote on a Justice

He doesn't get that the reason the dems are so mad is that they held the seat open for close to a year. If Garland didn't get through the vote, we wouldn't have been upset, well maybe a little. The reason we are so upset now is that they will be rushing the nominee through

[pwb]

3. I thought Mitt said he supported a vote?

He said he would vote yes now? o k . It is still their go to diversion.

[MiniMe]

5. He will vote if tRump nominates somebody

As long as they are qualified.

[pwb]

8. They all will vote. How will he vote is the question?

Having a vote to have a vote is one thing. Yes or no on the nomination is another.

[MiniMe]

10. I don't think he will say until he knows who it is.

I actually agree with that approach.

2. Romney said this morning he would support whoever trump chooses

[2naSalit]

4. Because he's not really about the rule of law...

He's about bending the law to fit his and the desires of his ilk which is to steal money and power, fuck everybody else.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. As you and I know first hand.

Willard follows the Profit of Temple Square. And is the so called" White Knight" in waiting.

Do wish folks would never believe a word this Guy Utters. The Guy is True to his Religion nothing more and nothing less.

[customerserviceguy]

14. And I'm sure

the high grand poohbahs of the Mormon church had a little sit-down with Mittens after his split impeachment vote. I recall that there was even a move in Utah for a recall election. It probably reminded him that he now represents Utah, and not Massachusetts anymore.

16. Thanks for posting the same story

related by a acquaintance still trying her darnest too assimilate to Washington County Culture. Her best friend is a Willard Niece and her Cousins love to brag.

[customerserviceguy]

18. I lived in Utah

from January 2005 to July 2005, it was the longest decade of my life...

(not a typo!)

[Wellstone ruled]

20. 2000 till 2013

full time and part time. Final Straw,one of the Magic Sperm Club told me to my face for the third time. You Ain't one of us and we don't want you here. Sold the House and was gone with in 72 hours.

Now our Friend is getting the same treatment even though her best friend is Sperm Club Member.

[FBaggins]

6. Mitt is not a "might be"

He made clear that he will vote based on the nominee's qualifications if it reaches the floor.

Since he isn't on the Judiciary Committee... that's the first time his vote matters.

Even Collins and Murkowski aren't necessarily "out" if they are needed for some reason. Saying that the Senate should wait until the people choose the next President doesn't mean that they would vote "no" on a nominee that came up for a vote.

[Frasier Balzov]

7. I think Mittens has now said he will confirm, assuming a qualified nominee.

His understanding of the tradition is that the senate majority confirms the nominee of a President from their same party.

[healthnut7]

9. Collins and Murkowski will probably follow along.

[sweetloukillbot]

15. I actually think they'll vote no. They have sufficient cover now

Even if Kelly wins and is seated early, that still gives them 50/50 w/ a Pence tiebreaker.

[customerserviceguy]

19. Collins, yes, but Murkowski, probably not

I'm sure that polling is being done in Maine regarding how GOP voters will feel if they think Collins has abandoned them, and she will dance to the tune being played.

On the other hand, please recall that Murkowski was once ousted by the GOP'ers in Alaska, and had to keep her Senate seat by the difficult route of a write-in candidacy. She has a lot less regard for the GOP base than Collins does.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

11. Collins & Murkowski will support Trump's despicable wishes,

as usual.

[benfranklin1776]

12. Yep kabuki theater BUT...

This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pull out all the stops to grind the Senate to a halt and keep hammering that this shows indisputably that all they care about is their own power and enrichment, not individual Americans. And I’d be bringing up the Heroes Act for vote after vote in the Senate and attach it to everything to remind people we are fighting for them and The Rethugs couldn’t care less excerpt about being Trump‘s. Supreme boot lickers, so say it loudly and often and keep hammering them. The American people respect fighters not supine appeasers like this thoroughly corrupt bunch of neoConfederate/fascist cabal of trump enablers that is the modern GOP, all of whom have the deaths of coronavirus victims on their hands for not ridding us of this monster during impeachment when they had the chance.

[brush]

17. It's the same ol' charade but this time mittens has already come out to toe the party line.

He announced today. Meanwhile Collins can pretend how concerned she is and Murcowski can pretend to be principled.

The results will be the same.

[pwb]

21. And the other 50 republicans are not pressed.

I guess that was my point. The 3 divert from the 50 others getting any pressure. It was missed by most who replied.
