Maybe I'm too cynical (though I think it's pretty damn hard to be too cynical anytime Republicans are involved) but I can't imagine Collins/Murkowski treating this as anything more than something to be "very concerned" about before voting yes.

PredictIt is back up to 60%, I'm surprised this even moved the needle that much. I love this, at the top of the WaPo story:
Quote:
Senate Republicans signaled they plan to move ahead on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination despite a decades-old sexual misconduct allegation.
The statement from Judiciary Committee Republicans came shortly after The Washington Post published a story Sunday afternoon that included an on-the-record interview with the woman alleging the sexual misconduct, Christine Blasey Ford. The committee Republicans said it was disturbing that the allegation was never brought to the attention of the full panel previously.
R: "It's disturbing that you guys didn't tell us about this"
D: "We should postpone the vote then"
R: "Oh, hahahaha, no, we don't
actually give a ****"
