This is where it appears things stand. With Murkowski a no and Flake an all-but-certain yes, the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court will come down to the Republican senator from Maine and the Democratic senator from West Virginia.https://twitter.com/justinsink/status/1048242529433477120 …

Has Lisa Blatt, just cited by Collins, commented since the Ford allegations were made public?

Here we go: Collins is talking about Ford.

The presumption of innocence, due process, and fairness bear on Collins’ thinking, she says, “and I cannot abandon them.”

Collins hasn’t said it yet, but she is clearly a yes vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Unless Flake (or someone unexpected) changes his or her planned vote, Kavanaugh will be confirmed as a justice on Saturday.

“I do not believe that these charges can fairly prevent Judge Kavanaugh from serving on the Supreme Court,” Sen. Susan Collins says, concluding that, in her view, the accusations by Ford failed to meet a “more likely than not” standard that Collins is using to judge them.

It’s all Kabuki theater. THIS was the plan all along. There’s no way THIS speech was written overnight. This is HER time to shine.

Why are you acting surprised? Why is the media so credulous and naive? Aaaaaaqaaaaaaa
-
Everyone had hope, even if slight. Why is that so hard to understand?
-
It's hard to understand because the hope, however slight, was based on literally nothing but naivete.
-
That's only a claim that can ever be seen in hindsight. Otherwise, there would never be hope at all. As long as I have blood running in my veins, this won't be over. Believing we'll all just give up and go home? THAT is naiveté.
-
I don't think we'll all give up and go home. I don't think it'll matter because the Senate and Electoral College are antiquated and designed to keep the country conservative and backwards as possible
