The Supreme Court can't outlaw abortion in all 50 states. A constitutional amendment is needed to do that. It can only strike down Roe v Wade that prohibits state from making abortions illegal. Unfortunately 4 Christians, their Presidential vote will not ban abortions nationwide

STOP LETTING GOP FOOL YOU! They need to commit to opposing nom until after the inauguration NOT the election. If they lose the senate & Trump loses they're planning to do it in lame duck session betw the election & inauguration. WAKE UP! Media needs to ask the right questions.

One more RINO

Once again WOMEN show they have more LEADERSHIP than WEAK men do.

Whenever I hear her name - this photo comes to mind!! What’s in the file of dirt the dems are holding over your head Lisa that makes you cave every time... FillTheSeatNOW lisamurkowski

She’s not really a republican.

Supreme court nomination: This is wrong. Hypothetical if there is a war, can you and Americans say that we will wait for two months and start the war with a new president? Lisa , you are wrong. Let the new nomination happen.

And then there were two . . .

Take a good look at the U.S. Senate, if you can find a picture of them all...☠😷🇺🇲

Good for her👍💕

Women showing moral courage and backbone again.

All I can say to my fellow voters, these candidates will do and say anything to get re-elected. Then they follow the party leader. None of them can be trusted to stand my their word.

She opposes everything. No surprise

Coward.

Murkowski and Collins are two rhinos following dems orders. Shame on them. 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

She is mole for Democrats. I guess she is one of the few Republican choices in Alaska.

We always knew she was a traitor.

VOTE HER OUT

Well Lisa’s a closet Democrat so..

I know many of you are counting on the Democrats we have parading as Republicans, but we don't need their votes anyway. We should listen to Obama anyway.

lisamurkowski You will lose in November big time. Traitor.

well at least there is one voice of integrity left on the right........collins is waffling again....what a surprise.

FFS what a shock. Now with her and Collins we just are waiting for Romney to puss-out next

Naturally. RINO.

Okay Susan Collins, now is you very LAST CHANCE to take a f'n position and stand by it! Can be an American Senator instead of a republican party lackey just once?

A fair question. Is the reelection campaign paying for these rallies, including the use of Air Force One as a prop, along with all the security detail? Or is that taxpayer's money?

It’s all staged between her and Mitch. GOP theatre. These are horrible people.

TWO MORE TO GO. TWO MORE NEEDED TO DRIVE A STAKE INTO THE HEARTS OF THE GRIM REAPER AND THE JOKER.

There HAS to be a full SC in place before the election.

She hadn't been GOP for many years. She's a fraud.

The statements mean nothing, they just will say anything to try getting themselves reelected. Even after most of the loose LARGE, they will in the lame duck vote to confirm a trump candidate.

filltheseat

This is Trump's best opportunity to tilt SCOTUS to his favor...primarily for cases involving his own personal matters. As always Trump's calculations that lead to urgent action are all about him. This is the 'get out of jail' card that Trump's been looking for. BlockTheSeat

She is ethical person

Lisa Murkowski has a conscience!

Revelation 5;12-13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: 'To him who SITS ON the THRONE and to the LAMB be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!'

We will see. she just said and no action did against Trump GOPHypocrisy

Looking forward to both old liberal RINO hags being soundly defeated in their next elections.

WSJ So the Senate can move quickly on a Supreme Court Justice, BUT WILL DELAY A CRISIS FUND for a pandemic resulting in 203,851 US DEATHS 1K/D As *30 Million unemployed *losing health insurance With Record *Company Bankruptcies *Home Foreclosures *Families being Evicted PATHETIC

I hope she also means after the election before the inauguration.

These pols and judges who are making up their own rules rather than upholding the las need to be held accountable. About 10 mayors have not upheld the oaths they took to take office and should be removed from office for blatant disregard for laws.

Opposing nominating a justice is one thing, voting no is another. We will see.

Are you looking for a photo retoucher.Yes, I’m a right person. I'm a professional Retoucher. Available for work 24/7. Just dm me. Please contact me:

He should learn more about laws

We need to be hearing no action until after inauguration.

We’ll see how Lisa votes.

Third...Collins & Mitt

foolish i hope it costs her senate seat – good riddance. ditto the other idiot saboteur. best/likely case trump takes white house and other house; and d-team gets senate - four years gridlock (and media circus if anyone still paying attention)

We're not shocked

lisamurkowski do ur job or resign. There is no precedent; no rule; no dying wish clause - if the president nominates someone vote up or down or resign. The corruptduopoly shows everyday what a useless & craven group they r. If u re-elect an incumbent u r a fool EndThemAll

Note that Murkowski did not indicate what action she would take 'after' the election and before inauguration. Nor did she use Collin's language saying that the 'newly-elected president' should make the nomination.

President Trump will fill the vacant seat. There is nothing the Dems can do to stop it. It can be done after Nov.3 by vote regardless of the winner or it can be done by Mitch putting the Senate in recess and Trump making a recess appointment good for 2 years.

I hope the goos ppl of Alaska send Lisa home soon

Shocked!

And only a rag like the would put forth the notion that the Communist Democrat Party would do any different if the tables were turned.

Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Mitt Romney should join the Democratic Party without wasting any more time. We’ve seen through their demeanor and they’re not a good fit for the GOP.

No one is surprised with lisamurkowski’s decision. We know who she is, but the American people want the duly elected president to put forth his candidate and the senate to approve. This is the desire of the people who elected those officials.

Alaskans nod their head in shame...

They will do it in lame duck Mark my words

😭😭😭
