Murkowski says she opposes Kavanaugh's nomination, but will vote 'present'

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Friday evening that she opposed Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, becoming the only Republican senator to come out against President Trump's nominee.

"I will be a no tomorrow," Murkowski said in a speech on the Senate floor after describing how she had come to lean against voting to confirm Trump's second nominee to the high court in a final vote on Saturday.

But Murkowski said that in the final tally she would ask that her vote be recorded as "present," saying she was doing it as a courtesy to Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who is slated to attend his daughter's wedding back home on Saturday.

"I do this because a friend, a colleague of ours is in Montana this evening and ... he's going to be walking his daughter down the aisle and he won't be present to vote," Murkowski said. "I have extended this as a courtesy to my friend. It will not change the outcome of the vote."

The Alaska senator acknowledged that it appeared that Kavanaugh would be seated on the Supreme Court "without my vote."

She needs to be voted out for voting no but I like the sentiment. Let the guy enjoy his daughter’s wedding.

Not me. I don't take pleasure in the pain of others. While I feel the left is terribly misguided, I have sympathy for them. Their leadership may play outrageous games, but many in the rank and file truly believe in their causes. Those that act out, they're like brainwashed children seeking attention and approval, which they readily receive from the MSM. All in all, I find it quite sad.

I'm glad Kavanaugh is on the Court. And I'm glad the attack on due process and presumption of innocence failed. But you're right. The fact were even at this point is very troubling

I'm glad the Democrats ploy failed. I don't find Ford's story credible, and no actual proof seems to exist to support any of the allegations against Kavanaugh. As for Kavanaugh himself, I'm neither happy nor unhappy as I honestly know very little about him. When the Dems turned this into a circus, his qualifications got thrown out the window.

Will all these protesters be moving on to Minnesota to protest Ellison? Someone needs to see if Alyssa Milano and Amy Schumer have booked their tickets. Surely they have something to say about that.

The interesting thing would be to hear from Sen Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) about this.

Talking heads on CNN already chirping about “asterisks” and the illegitimacy of any 5-4 Conservative rulings from SCOTUS going forward....
