Murkowski hasn’t decided on Amy Coney Barrett for court

56

In spite of some media reports, Sen. Lisa Murkowski has not decided for or against the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett for the U.S. Supreme Court.

At least one news organization in Massachusetts has said otherwise, but a spokesperson for Murkowski said Alaska’s senior senator has not even had a chance to meet with Barrett.

She has said she will meet her soon, and out of respect will not be commenting until at least after that meeting. The date for the meeting has not been confirmed, the MRAK source said.

Today was the final day of the Senate Judiciary interview of Barrett, and a vote is expected on the floor of the Senate later this month.
