Senator Murkowski really is sounding like she may end up opposing the Kavanaugh nomination. Senator Collins, unfortunately, is not.
Assuming all Democrats are opposed, we need both to reject the nomination. So it is possible that Murkowski might vote "no" with McConnell's blessing, to give her the benefit of not staking out an unpopular position while still being sure that Kavanaugh is confirmed.
