(3,425 posts)As opposed to their votes. Somehow, regardless of what they say on camera, they're always "convinced" the party line vote is the way to go. Collins and (now retired) Snow were notorious for this crap when Reid ran the Senate. They'd dangle the possibility of them voting "yes" until a bill was so watered down as to be ineffective, and then still wouldn't vote for it. Collins once withheld her vote because Reid "took too long" to get a bill to the floor...and it would have benefited veterans. Murkowski pulls the same thing, and that's what they're both doing now. They may vote with the Democrats occasionally, but not on the big stuff. They'll turn a blind eye to whatever the FBI finds out in the next week, and vote to confirm him because of an "unfair process".
And will be shocked, SHOCKED! when he votes, along with every other man they voted to put there, to overturn Roe.
