Murkowski had no problem doing a kill shot right out of the box. No pun intended? 
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

Vote will be immediately after the election.
Collins will vote yes because she will have nothing to lose.

There's a big difference between, saying there should be no nominee vote for the SCOTUS, compared to a no vote for a SCOTUS nominee. I can't see Collins voting against a woman. A woman has cause a lot men to do things they ordinarily wouldn't. This. Make Collins and the rest vote against a woman, or merely respond present to the roll call which would be tantamount to a no. Present is not a no. It's half a no. We only need a simple majority, in other words, 46 votes since the democrat's hold 45 seats, providing no Republicans actually vote NO, but just vote present, or abstain from voting.

It doesn’t matter because Trump is gonna win and pick whoever he wants regardless. I hope. The replacement of Ginsburg was going to be a total schidtshow meltdown under any circumstances at any time. Yep. It was going to be a giant temper tantrum either way.

The vote needs to be before the election. It will force Collins to vote yes because if she doesn't every republican in Maine will refuse to vote for her and she'll be tossed out on her butt. If you wait until after the election she won't need their votes.

Sniper, would that also make it half a yes? Grins As a “Republican” an abstain is the same as a No. Jmo.

It matters not how many Republicans or how many Democrats make up the Senate. A Simple Majority is based on the total number of Senators, 100. That means a simple majority is 51 Senators must vote, YES. If there is a tie, 50-50 then the VP cast the deciding tie breaker. Voting "present" does not count as a "Yes" vote. So if 4 (R) Senators vote "present" then the confirmation fails as the 51 "yes" votes was not achived.

Im disinthused by the thought of the Ds running around before the election screaming about how a Trump win will result in the loss of the right for women to kill their unborn.

He's just scrambling to make up ground after the flogging Lou Dobbs has been handing out. He'll be right back in the swamp as soon as he's out of the spotlight. Glad he's voting right on this one but he needs to go ASAP.
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

Collins of Maine joined Murkowski of AK and released a statement today saying the there should be no SC vote in the Senate before the election. Their posturing and saying that there should be no vote before the election does not at all mean that they would not vote to approve a nominee. This IS a political process whether intended or not.

Nope Confirmation requires a simple majority of the Senate quorum. A "present" vote adds to the quorum. If all 100 Senators are available to vote it requires 51 yes votes to confirm. There is no Filibuster during the confirmation process. The Cloture Rule (filibuster) required 60 votes to stop the filibuster. McConnell did away with that during the Gorsuch confirmation. The Democrats cannot filibuster as it goes to a floor vote and requires 51 YES votes. A "present" vote is not a "yes" vote and it adds to the quorum. Same as a "No".
