Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) confirmed in a Sunday statement that she opposes replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the November election.“For weeks, I have stated that I would not support taking up a potential Supreme Court vacancy this close to the election. Sadly, what was then a hypothetical is now our reality, but my position has not changed,” Murkowski said, according to The Hill.“I did not support taking up a nomination eight months before the 2016 election to fill the vacancy created by the passing of Justice Scalia. We are now even closer to the 2020 election – less than two months out – and

Not all elected political dingbat women are Democrats. We have had our share. We still do.

She is pitiful and pitiable. And not nearly as cute as a couple of puppies I've been seeing on line. Does she eat Alpo or does she like kibbles and bits? Sit. Stay.

Compromise idea. Do all the leg work before the election, and vote right after the election. This will give cover to candidates in tight races, and the outcome will be the same.

53 - 47. If she abstains we still have lots of room to get this done. We don't need 51, we need a simple majority. If there is a tie... say 47 to 47, then Pence breaks the tie. If Murkowski were to vote against a woman nominated by her party she will be retired in two years - no matter what else happens. She knows this. At 63 she isn't ready to spend the rest of her years knitting in the Frozen Tundra. She could abstain and thread the needle - but that doesn't matter. All that does is give a couple other weasels a path to follow. This is going to happen.

And if it were 2021, Murkowski would find another reason not to support a nominee from her party. The woman is pathetic.

My position hasn't changed either. In 2022, I trust Alaska voters will send this RINO packing and elect a MAGA Repiblucan senator to continue President Trump's work.

Murkowski refuses to acknowledge the vast difference between the 2016 nomination of Merritt Garland by really lame duck Obama, who was at the end of his second term, before an open election, and the current situation where the incumbent has a very good chance of being reelected to a second term. Apples and oranges. But don’t confuse Dem fellow travelers like Murkowski with the facts.

I still remember the revealing photo of Diane Feinstein verbally bullying Murkowski in the Capitol hallway.

But, Murko, you WILL be expected to vote. Wake the hell up. I really don't think you or Pierre Delecto want to be the two black sheep who tilted America to an era of chaos. But, THAT will be your label forever, if you choose to not do YOUR job.
Perhaps it is time to demonstrate aggressively in front of Murko's residence as a reminder of who she is working for.

#9 after Feinstein's held back the accusations on Brett Kavanaugh for a more opportune moment I called my senators and asked them at some opportune moment on their behalf to verbally accost HER. I was assured the message would be past on.

Can we please stop talking to this attention whore? If she hates being Republican so bad, she should just man up and become a democrat. She's weak and pathetic, and knows she will lose if she became who she really is. She might sleep better at night, but then how does she even sleep now?

It is absolutely imperative to have the SCOTUS nominee approved before the myriad of court challenges already being anticipated for the election results.

FINE Lisa!! We're really tired of this game you play. You just want everyone to chase you around, pay attention to you like you are someone important, begging and pleading for you to do the RIGHT thing for your Party. Well Sweetheart, we're done with you. I mean REALLY done! You vote no and we will be collecting money the next day to fund someone to PRIMARY you! Shouldn't be hard to beat a Harpie like you! All it will take is maybe someone like Sarah Palin!

Murkowski can always be relied upon to be a jerk. She should be put on the back bench.

There are 53 Republican Senators. They need 4 of them to side with the Democrats. So far, they do not have the votes. Wonder what the going price is for voting in such a way where they can kiss their career goodbye. Don't doubt for a second there are some Republican Senators that have a price. Murkowski probably has a price. What she is doing is irrational. She loses Republican support, and does not gain any support from Democrats.

Is it true that RGB actually died six weeks ago and they just held off announcing it so people like Murkowski could have an excuse not to vote?

I wonder if those corrupt DOJ and FBI agents that indicted Alaska Senator Thad Stevens for non-existent corruption crimes are still around and available?
Seems to me that Dirty Lisa has some secrets that the voters might like to know about
Get in line, Lisa

The first vote will be to have a vote or not. Once it passes she and others might vote for the right candidate.

Yep, Lisa. Once a RINO, always a RINO, I guess. #8 is spot on, as so often is the case.

Too smart to be a democrat. Too cowardly to support our president and the Constitution. All in all, a fairly useless individual.
