McConnell seems to have given Sen. Deeply Concerned a golden ticket
They must really be panicking over the Senate:
Senator Susan Collins says she will vote against Judge Amy Coney-Barrett being elected to the Supreme Court.
“It’s not a comment on her,” Collins said. “It is a comment on the process of rushing through a nomination in such a short time before a presidential election.”
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also said she will be a no vote for the same reason.
Hmmm. Not much margin for error if somebody else develops a conscience, or more realistically (hi Mitt!) senses that being Principled may allow somebody to arise Phoenix-like out of the smoking wreckage after the election. ETA: TWBB in comments points out that COVID might have something to say about all this too. Of course if necessary McConnell will force Collins to switch her already announced vote, which if nothing else would be darkly hilarious.
