This post is the type of absurd, accusatory comment that infuriates those who agree with Susan Collins and support her.

I agree. I don't support Collins decision. I also do not support this type of rhetoric - doesn't help.

Why double standard? You give a pass to Manchin - a Democrat - in the name of wanting to retain his seat (though he already has a substantial lead) and want Collins - a Republican - to vote against her party's nominee and face peril in her reelection. You are all jokers. I was a registered Democrat before who now is a registered Independent.

I would say in this case, yes.
She has done her research. She studied his past rulings. She met with him for over 2 hours. She talked to him, read all the background investigations, and actually got to know as much about him as possible.

I may be wrong, but I bet Justice Stevens has never met Judge Kavanaugh. He may be aware of his rulings, but I doubt he knows as much about him as Collins does. Stevens was basing his opinion on one incident. One in which Kavanaugh was passionately defending his reputation, his family, his livelihood, and his integrity. I think Collins was considering the man - all aspects of him.

Well maybe not all, but at least those that gave her cover to vote yes.

I just pledged $50 to her future opponent, assuming she runs again. It was cathartic. The total is currently above $2.2 mil, aiming for $4 mil.

You’re trying to buy a political seat of a senator? I don’t know what to say.

Money is free speech, or haven't you heard?

I will donate for the people who run against the R's in the senate today. Except murkowsky.
I WANT THEM OUT. They are irreparably corrupted.

LOL. You must be REALLY appalled by all of the big money in politics then. Right?

Or do you think the only way to get a seat is to steal it a la Russia?

You know, past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
K shows that he is a partisan. How good he will be separating his political views from his judicial opinions is yet to be seen.
Time will tell

You are all jokers. I was a registered Democrat before who now is a registered Independent.

As a lifetime unaffiliated voter, I can assure you that the blinders have always existed, on both sides.

I do! CITIZENS UNITED, baby! Woohoo! Money can buy you anything in the US and the SCOTUS says so.

Because women don’t like women who aren’t supportive of women. Manchin is male and therefore stupid.

Yes, with my $50 I am trying to “buy a political seat of a senator.” People are allowed to donate money to whom they want. Were you not aware of how it works? You’ll be amazed to know then, that you can donate your own money to Collins, to “buy” her a senate seat.

Hopefully, he will be as skilled as RBG in separating his political views from his judicial opinions.

(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of

(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following
circumstances:
(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice

"What goes around comes around" indeed.

But there is no law requiring that he recuse himself from any case before the Supreme Court. Recusal is voluntary.

Do you think Brett will recuse himself when the ACLU brings a case before the Supreme Court? He'll be licking his chops at his chance to get back at those "liberals" who funded the conspiracy against him.

Be very afraid, Democrats.

You are illustrating exactly why Kavanaugh should not have been confirmable. The legitimacy of the Supreme Court dies with Kavanaugh, and thus, what is left of our republic.

Whatever rises in its ashes will be in the model of Putin's Russia with the Trump family at the helm, as some sort of oligarchal christian theoracy.

So much winning.

Recuse? Hahaha!! He'll follow the Kagan (see ACA) and RBG models (see all things Trump) and find every reason to not recuse. Thank you Kagan for non-recusals, Biden (Rule) for Justice Gorsuch, but most of all Harry Reid for the next 30-40 years of sane jurisprudence.

#winning

Kagan recused herself in hundreds of cases - I'd be happy if Bart followed her example

American democracy, the best money can buy. Just ask the Koch brothers.
