This dumb stupid… senator… is going to vote no on Kavanaugh. And it sounds like she did it because of the “Me Too” movement – not because of anything in the case itself against Kavanaugh.
She voted no this morning on the cloture vote.
COLOR FROM SENATE CHAMBER: After Sen. Murkowski (R-AK) voted against advancing Kavanaugh nomination, Sens. Portman (R-OH) & Cornyn (R-TX) approached Murkowski and shook her hand; Sen. Cantwell (D-WA) slipped her a note; Sen. Collins (R-ME) put her arm around Murkowski's shoulder. pic.twitter.com/4KFOQCJisv

And she’s also voting NO on the formal confirmation vote tomorrow.
MURKOWSKI says she didn’t make up her mind until walking into the vote. “None of this has been fair.” pic.twitter.com/Hy8UdeCyQx

Pathetic.
Murkowski calls this “the most difficult evaluation” she’s had to make. “He’s not the right man for the court at this time,” she said. “So I have taken my vote here this morning. I’m going to go back to my office and write a floor statement that is more fulsome.”

I like Alaska...a lot. Maybe it’s time to run for Senate after all. @lisamurkowski has abandoned all principles of due process and fairness. Disgraceful. “#ConfirmKavanaugh

I’d even support Ingraham over this BS.
