Washington, DC-Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Saturday that she will ultimately vote yes on Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States. "I believe that the only way to put us back on the path of appropriate consideration of judicial nominees, is to evaluate Judge Barrett as we would want to be judged -- on the merits of her qualifications. And we do that when that final question comes before us. And when it does, I will be a yes," Murkowski said on the Senate floor. Corrections*

How generous of you. What happened? Mitt and Collins couldn’t talk you out of it?

Mitt is voting for her. Collins is the only one not voting and they don’t need her. She needs the no to win.

I'll take it, but something smells rotten -- probably her polls in Alaska.

Maybe Cocaine Mitch showed Murky her new Senate office if she voted no - an igloo above the Arctic Circle.

This is good news. Murky started out saying "no way".

4, nothing wrong with her local polls driving her vote. If the people she represent want something their representative should generally do that on their behalf. Senators and other elected are representatives first and foremost, leaders second, and rulers never.

I saw a picture of Mitch posted yesterday. His mouth and knuckles were all bruised up. Has anyone seen a recent picture of Murkowski?

How could she survive another primary challenge voting No?

What? It took four CNN dorks to write this item? Did they also have a support pony to get them through it?
Anyhow - - I'm so thrilled that Murky came around! I don't think I've ever been happier in all my life!

She voted "No" on Brett:
"I believe Brett Kavanaugh is a good man. In my view, he’s not the right man for the court at this time."
She's learned a lesson or wised up. Whatever, Amy will appreciate her "Aye."

Y'all do know what happened here, right? Sarah Palin put out a blistering announcement that she was going to sell her home (showed pics of her place) if Murkowski didn't vote for ACB... she made it extremely clear that Alaska will not tolerate senators who refuse to vote for wonderful justices like ACB. I reckon COW figured that Sarah wasn't bluffin...

Sorry to have to another... Sarah was going to sell her home to run against Murkowski to move to Washington to represent Alaska if she didn't vote for ACB...

I heard on Newsmax that Murkowski realizes like many of the RINOs do, that her approval numbers are far lower than Trump’s incredible 94% amongst the party faithful. We are starting to see some of these guys starting to calculate that hurting Trump will cause them pain. We think these applause-loving politicians are not seeing all that Love for Trump across the nation? I give her credit for nothing. She needs to be flushed out of her Senate seat with a new conservative Alaskan.

Why should this be News? It's her job to vote YES and confirm Amy Coney Barrett if she's qualified.

This is good, I’ll take it. It would shows that she figured out that she gets nothing for spite. I’m hoping that she’s gone from the Senate in ‘23. ACB has 52 votes minimum, Manchin, Sinema and maybe one other D are wild cards.

I would like to see the republicans retain control of the senate with Collins getting the boot. She has been a very unreliable drama queen for far too long.

What did she get in return? More money for Alaska? That's how she works.
