New: Sen Lisa Murkowski announces she will vote yes on Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to Supreme Court.

“...the only way to put us back on the path of appropriate consideration of judicial nominees, is to evaluate Judge Barrett on the merits of her qualifications,” she said.

[Hortensis]

23. She's corrupt and working with the rest to overthrow our democracy

so conservatives can retain and take more power to betray those who elected them. Traitors, not idiots.

“Maybe you do not care much about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.” David Frum, clear-eyed conservative

They've been working on that since the 1990s.

TOTAL BULLSHIT.

What a tool. As always.

[OneBlueDotBama]

7. Can you blame her...

Sarah "SparkleMoose" Palin is breathing down her neck....

[ZZenith]

[lame54]

9. The weird Palin video worked

[Walleye]

10. So what she's saying is, "I'm not up for reelection"

So sick of these Republicans in their right wing tyranny of the minority rule. What do we call this asymmetric governing?

[bullimiami]

11. the only way to put us back on the path of appropriate consideration of judicial nominees, is to ...

support a totally inappropriate consideration of a judicial nominee.

Lisa Murkowski, who says she is concerned about confirming a nominee this close to an election, says she will vote to filibuster Amy Coney Barrett. But she says she will not hold it against Barrett and will vote to confirm. The vote now is expected to be 52-48 on confirmation

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

18. Hoping she will be voted out when it's her time..

[bdamomma]

21. exactly

this is not the 1st time she flipped flopped on a vote.

Crap. Repigs are vile.

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. Coward...idiot Palin attacks her and this happens.

GOP are fascist mass murderers.

When I said that 3 months ago, 18 months ago, 48 months ago, 62 months ago I took a heap of shit for it.

It was always what they were.

[Sierra89]

24. Is it worth it to call her

office and tell her what a mistake she is making for all Women and the ACA?

It's just sickening.

[Iggo]

25. Of course she is. She was always going to.

[Drunken Irishman]

26. Who cares? So many upset people over a vote that won't matter.

She's trash. We now know this. But no need to get angry. ACB was going to get confirmed anyway. Her vote is for show.

We need to take back the senate.
