Susan Collins statement confirms she is a YES on KBJ:
"I have concluded that [Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson] possesses the experience, qualifications, and integrity to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. I will, therefore, vote to confirm her to this position."

Susan Collins may be the first but I doubt she’ll be the last.
Jackson met with Romney yesterday and I suspect I’ll be doing a post just like this in a little while for him.
And if Collins is a yes vote, then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Murkowski will be a yes vote.
So at the end of the day, Jackson will get at least two Republican votes, maybe three.
