Susan Collins says no vote before the election



So that's Collins

Do we have - or think we have - Romney and Murkowski? And then we need one more?

My thought exactly. Would someone let him know. Wouldn't it be stupid for him to believe a reporter?


His reaction was moving. Trump didn’t want this; he liked RBG in spite of the nasty things she said about him. And some of this things were really nasty. But Trump liked her; he truly did.


Trump doesn't like anyone except for Ivanka. I'm sorry, why would you believe he does?

DP. I actually think he might have liked her. He appears to have a love-hate relationship with strong women.

As well as New Yorkers. RBG was both.

The Supreme Court is poised to eliminate health insurance for tens of millions of people in the middle of the pandemic, so they’re very much intertwined.

I disagree. RBG has seen it as her duty to drive for progressive ideals, to be the motivating force on the court. Roberts is worried about his legacy and flip-flops like a fresh caught catfish. The two are not ideologically similar. I as a Trump supporter respect RBG far far more than Roberts.


I thought justice was supposed to be blind?

If only those pesky people would stop dying, we'd have an easier time of it.

Not surprised but still appalled. It's especially galling that he's using Kavanaugh the attempted rapist as an excuse.


Not surprised. What a hypocrite.


+1. There are no eyerolls big enough for this “You liberals made me abandon all my principles!” bullshit.

Kavanaugh is NOT an attempted rapist. Just another failed dem stunt in a long series.


Not sure you can make that blanket statement but Kavanaugh’s behavior during confirmation was unbecoming of a justice. Also he lied in his financial disclosures and to Congress. He should be impeached.


You know what, that's a good point. If they rush through a nominee, we should impeach Kavanaugh and replace him.

Increases the chances the GOP loses the senate if Collins etc have to cast a vote against Roe. If they lose the senate, Dems should pack the court. So republicans should decide if they prefer a 5-4 majority or 7-6 minority.

Lindsey Graham does seem awfully comfortable with rapist and would-be rapists. I wonder why that is.
