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.

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

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.
