“If it’s a ‘clean’ disapproval resolution, I will support it,” she said. “Until I don’t.”

Doesn’t provide much ground for hope that sense or the Constitution will prevail in the Senate.

It’s hard to tell what’s the best feature of that comment: The snark or the humor?

You’ll approve it only because it will most likely never come up for a vote or your vote will be inconsequential if it does. Mitch will make sure of that if and when.

I recall Harry Reid saying you can count on Collins vote until you can’t.

Well, it’s either the usual or she’s not running next election so she has nothing to fear.

Doctor What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.

Gentlewoman It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus
washing her hands: I have known her continue in
this a quarter of an hour.

LADY MACBETH Yet here’s a spot.

Doctor Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from
her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.

LADY MACBETH Out, damned spot! out, I say!–One: two: why,
then, 'tis time to do’t.–Hell is murky!–Fie, my 40
lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we
fear who knows it, when none can call our power to
account?–Yet who would have thought the old man
to have had so much blood in him.

“If it’s a ‘clean’ disapproval resolution, I will support it,” she said.

WTF is a “clean” resolution, anyway? And notice she says she’ll “support” it - not “vote” for it.

“I do support the lawsuit that was filed by the states. That may be the quickest way to get an injunction that would halt this transfer of funds,” she said.

Translation: “God, please don’t make me vote on this one way or another.”

The president’s action “completely undermines” the role of Congress and is of “dubious constitutionality,” she said, while attending a Coast Guard ceremony.

“If it’s a ‘clean’ disapproval resolution, I will support it,” she said.

Soooooooo, I guess Murkowski lost the coin toss on this?

Back it, vote against it, it doesn’t matter. You’re finished, you backstabbing sellout. Be sure to kiss Phyllis Schlafly when you two misogynist cheerleaders meet again in hell.

Captain Concern Troll the Caveat Queen rides again!

She just announced her “out”, her excuse, not her support.

ETA: And yes, this was by way of instructions to McConnell not to let a “clean” bill hit the floor…to make sure it has some sort of poison pill in it that she can latch onto.

I know how she is, but any chance she’s decided to address this to see if anyone else will get in line? She can always do the usual, and if not to her liking, bail out. Maybe she’s decided to be a maverick or if she plans to run next time she knows she has to do something other than vote to support Kavanaugh.

No riders.

And despite the broadly popular panning, I prefer to quote Alexandre Dumas: “One.”
