Murkowski is a no. That will cost her the re-election if she votes no on the final vote.
I don't think she is in any danger at all. She's one tough cookie and I respect her no matter what her final vote is. Remember she wasn't even on the ticket when she ran, she won by virtue of write in votes.
Iam no Kavanaugh supporter, but I do support innocent until proven guilty. If you have evidence that Kavanaugh did what he was accused of bring it.
The Dems obviously didn't. No doubt in my mind they tried hard, but came up empty. I honestly dont care if Kavanaugh is selected. I honestly care that what the dems did to him can now be done to anyone.
You and many others keep thinking this is a criminal trial with the same standards for evidence as such. This is not a criminal trial. Kavanaugh is not being sentenced to prison. This is an appointment to the Supreme Court. The two are not at all alike. It is a job interview. In any job interview, a person can be cut from consideration because the potential employer doesn't like the tie they are wearing. And this is a job lasting decades in which it is nearly impossible to get fired. Are you suggesting his demeanor and lying alone is not enough to disqualify him?
I find it hard to believe that Kavanaugh supporters would hire any person as an employee in their own business if he were accused of committing sexual assault. I do not think they would. He would be too much of a liability.
People get fired or eliminated from consideration all the time for lying on their applications, much less lying under oath. And they want such a person on the Supreme Court?
I don't know. There are other reasons Alaskans don't love Kavanaugh. That said, it's refreshing to see someone vote their conscience without worrying about which way the political wind blows.
Yeah? Are the on the Supreme Court? Didn't think so. Listen, even former conservative judges are speaking out about his nomination.
Polygraphs are often used for employment purposes. Working at the FBI for example.
Listen, if he HAD been brave enough to take a polygraph and he had passed - you'd be crowing about it 24/7.

So, in your opinion, the word of just one person is enough to derail this? If that's the case, there will never be anybody that will get through. There will always be someone from the past who has a bone to pick with someone nominated.
Initially she was, but she subsequently won the seat in 2004 with write in votes

ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski Wednesday became the first U.S. senator in more than 50 years to win an election with a write-in campaign as she established an unassailable lead over conservative Tea Party movement favorite Joe Miller. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...6AG51C20101118
Ford didn't lie, Ford passed a polygraph test, Kavanaugh didn't.
A whole 2 questions that didn't even mention BK by name.

Maybe they will have the vote on Sunday?
He said he would find a way to be there.

Yes they are. I've even heard people say that they are easy to manipulate. I know I would fail one because I would be too nervous...and I can't tell a lie without getting busted lol!
