We should have anticipated this from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). The so-called Alaskan Republican was mum on Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination.

Lisa Murkowski says she will oppose President Trump's pick for attorney general, saying she lacks confidence Blanche can "check the worst impulses of this administration."
