Murkowski is just keeping her options open to potentially ignore a SC nomination, in the event that a future Dem president nominates a SC justice wthin 2 years of Congressional elections or 4 years of a presidential elections.
Hah! To borrow a Biden ism: Come on, man!
I may have used some hyperbole BUT
McConnell has created the template and poisoned politics that only a matched pair Pres-Senate gets nominations through.
Its insidious and will eat away at the ability of otherwise reasonable people to be reasonable.
She could have stood for principle, and what every American knows is the bigger "right", and do the decent thing, even if it was unpopular in Alaska, but its explainable and most rational people can understand the principle.
Children could accept the principle and concept
But she couldn't hold the principle and bent to the hypocrisy of a wholly corrupt party.
So DOUBLE FUCK her as she posed as a voice of reason and decency, but when push came to vote, it was too uncomfrotable for her to be decent.
