On Friday morning, Senator Susan Collins of Maine said that she would declare later that afternoon whether she would confirm or oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. For the women who opposed Judge Kavanaugh, many of whom had traveled to Washington from all over the country, her decision was their last hope. By 2:30 p.m., half an hour before she was due to announce her decision, Collins’s office on the fourth floor of the Dirksen Senate building was filled with protesters, most of them women, and members of the press.
The crowd was overflowing into the halls and stretching close to the entire length of the building. The women began quietly to sing the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.”
When Collins began speaking in the Senate, they fell silent. A woman held a phone to her ear and relayed the remarks word for word to the crowd. Collins’s statement was hardly spontaneous. It was measured and deliberate. As it became clear that she was going to support the nomination, people began screaming at the television. “You’re done,” one woman shouted.
By the time I arrived in the grand, sunlit atrium of the Hart Senate Building where much of the opposition energy had been focused these past two weeks, the mood was entirely somber. Collins had just ended her nearly 45-minute statement with a vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. The lines sung by the women outside Collins’s office still rang in my mind:
We shall overcome. We’re on to victory. The truth shall make us free. Someday.

You have a damn good point there!
Is that midget DeBlasio’s wife? LG should have picked her up and tossed her.
Great copy! Good job!
AWESOME!
Protesting Cavanaugh?
With a photoshopped Gilligan’s Island snapshot?
Laz would not hit them.
Two bumps up!
It’s the public part I was objecting to. Not the suffering. :)
Collins will be all over her like white on rice.
Great one!
You’re right. It was a must watch. I watched it twice!
Great post .. bravo .. and thanks :)
I also appreciate that interesting times means well - it truly is sad to see adults carrying on like spoiled rotten children...but my perspective is that by carrying on in such a fashion they destroy the attractiveness of their sick ideology. For that, I am thankful, and I pray to God every single day that this continues until the sickness of collectivism disappears from human consciousness.
Thanks. See my #91. The public part makes their success less likely...so it is necessary for the public good, like vaccinations. No one LIKES getting treated like a pin cushion, but we understand that it is necessary for our long-term health.
Oh, and the suffering makes the pain MUCH more bearable - joyful, even.
Really? I figured Lindsey was just superimposed on a Picture of the participants from the Feminazi Riot at the Capital.
At least it wasn’t Amy Roloff.
Liberal women who believe it’s ok to murder their own child (their very own flesh & blood) should never be trusted at all costs.
They are more genocidal than ISIS.
That was great. Lindsey has been set free by McCain assuming room temperature.
Wait,,,
WHAT?
Re: photo of Lindsey Graham—digging the angry midget/dwarf woman with the green hair!!!! All three ring circuses must have midgets!!! LMAO !!!
“For the women who opposed Judge Kavanaugh - maybe five or six maximum - many of whom had traveled to Washington from all over the country - in reality from San Francisco... (their brooms were registered in California) “
