RINOs are as predictable as water is wet.
Mitt Romney released a statement today on how he’s going to vote for Biden’s SCOTUS nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and you will not be shocked at all.
I intend to vote in support of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to be an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. My statement: pic.twitter.com/uGaxx8sJn5

I don’t get this at all. Romney’s vote isn’t just about what Jackson might do as a Supreme Court justice. I mean, that is important. But his vote should factor in what she has already done as a judge in her time on the court and clearly she’s made some highly questionable decisions.
As McConnell pointed out when explaining why he’s a no vote on Jackson, she won’t explain her judicial philosophy, she supports packing the high court and she’s very soft on criminals at a time when crime is skyrocketing and the need for tougher sentences is paramount.
But hey, Mitt believes she is a person of honor and well-qualified.
Unbelievable, but not unpredictable. And where Collins and Romney goes, Murkowski is sure to follow.
UPDATE: Murkowski had announced her support for Jackson just before Romney.
Murkowski is a YES on Jackson. Second Republican to back her

She adds: “While I have not and will not agree with all of Judge Jackson’s decisions and opinions, her approach to cases is carefully considered and is generally well-reasoned.”
