As of now I have the board at 49-47 republicans. Susan Collins is already a no so I’ll start from the swing votes from here on out:
Murkowski: she has a primary coming up against Palin, but she is super pro choice and anti trump so I’m assuming no.
Gardner: He has an event planned with Tom cotton next week and is on the record as pro life. I say yes.
Romney: By far the most interesting of the votes. Hates trump but very religious and very pro life. I say he is a last second yes
Manchin: my buddy at WVU law said he’s gonna be a no and we already knew that anyway.
Final tally 51-49 to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Pedes: thoughts, comments, opinions? I hope I’m right but I can see Gardner and Romney flipping.

PS I’m aware of people like Lamar Alexander and jerry Moran but I don’t believe they will flip either
You are correct on the simple majority good sir. We do have Mike “no gay cohort on my Supreme Court” Pence. However, I find it highly unlikely 5-6 senators will abstain from a SCOTUS confirmation vote. I hope we confirm her 100-0 but that’s not going to happen so these are the senators I have my eye on. Murkowski is a lost cause, I believe we need to fight for Gardner or Romney’s vote at this point.
