Sen. Lisa Murkowski: Brett Kavanaugh is not 'the right man for the court at this time'

Sen. Lisa Murkowski — the only Republican to join Democrats’ filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh — explained her vote Friday, saying she believes he is a good man but not the right man for the high court.

The Alaska Republican told reporters she hadn’t made up her mind about how she would vote until she entered the chamber Friday morning, and had been wrestling with evaluating Judge Kavanaugh based on his qualifications and the swirling allegations of sexual assault.

“I believe we are dealing with issues right now that are bigger than a nominee in how we assure that our institutions — not only the legislative branch but the judicial branch — continue to be respected,” Ms. Murkowski said.

“I took the very, very difficult vote that I did. I believe Brett Kavanaugh is a good man. I believe he is a good man. It just might be, in my view, he is not the right man for the court at this time,” she added.

This coming from a person who only got her job by her father the governor filling a Senate seat by appointing her.

Alaska needs to use her same words when she is up for re-election:

Lisa Murkowski is not 'the right person for the Senate at this time'

Hey Lisa, how does it feel to have Susan Collins' tire tracks running right over your face?

After tomorrow's vote, she needs to be stripped of her committee assignments.

Party switch coming if the pubs lose a seat.  Given how radicalized the dems are, she better anticipate another write-in campaign in 2022.

   Step up Mrs. Palin.

I'm beginning to wonder if this whole thing was orchestrated.

Murkowski says 'no', which sets up the Collins speech,  where now if she says 'no' it's all over.  So everybody is going to be watching.  Then WHAMMO!  Collins delivers the knockout blow.

I wouldn't be shocked if tomorrow Murkowski says 'yes' claiming that Collins' speech flipped her.

"...It just might be, in my view, he is not the right man for the court at this time,” she added."

It shouldn't be about what's in the news at the moment. If you're suited to the job then you are.

A very wishy-washy excuse.   As I predict tomorrow, she'll vote yes because of the case Senator Collins laid out.

I don't think Murkowski will do the right thing, but it would be great if she did. DiFi cowed Her somehow.
