I am a pessimist by nature, so although I want it to happen more than life itself, I 100% see no chance. No doubt Trump will nominate a justice. No doubt as Collins said, the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin the process of reviewing his nominee's credentials. I can see the committee even voting and the justice will get through that obviously. What I don't see is a vote and definitely not the justice confirmed if there is a vote. Collins is already a no before the election. Then we have Mittens/Murkowski. If they are both no, then we need the other 50. What really are the chances of that happening? We all know Democrats would get this done with no problem, but the Republicans have no spine. So please, tell me how this happens. I want to be optimistic.

Details matter.
Look at what she actually said.
She did not say she would not vote, or that she would vote no.
She stated she did not think the Senate should.
This is double speak and means nothing because the decision is not hers to make.
