Don't waver, Republicans!

Republican Lisa Murkowski Unsure if She Will Support Brett Kavanaugh After Bogus Sexual Assault Allegations  "Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a key swing vote for Republicans, said she wants to be fair about the allegations against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"A pro-abortion Republican, Murkowski has not yet decided how she will vote on the judge’s confirmation.
“We are now in a place where it’s not about whether or not Judge Kavanaugh is qualified,” Murkowski told the New York Times this week. “It is about whether or not a woman who has been a victim at some point in her life is to be believed.”
"She and fellow pro-abortion Republican Sen. Susan Collins are being heavily lobbied by the abortion industry to oppose Kavanaugh. Republicans hold a slim, two-member majority in the Senate, so every vote is important. Neither have announced their decision on whether to support his confirmation, but both did vote to confirm President Donald Trump’s first nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch." . . .

Chairman Grassley Schedules Committee Vote Friday Morning For SCOTUS Nominee….   . . . "With Ms. Ford’s attendance still in question, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is using regular order to schedule a judiciary committee vote on Friday morning.  The committee vote is not mandatory, but generally following procedures.  This would set up a full Senate vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Asked if Republicans have received any indication of threats to the attorney they’re preparing to use, Grassley said: “I don’t know, but I guess we’re just being cautious.”  (more)
