PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Opponents of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh plan to keep up the pressure on Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a key swing vote.

Collins has not said how she would vote on Kavanaugh's nomination. Demonstrators planned to show up at her Portland office on Monday to urge her to vote no.

It's the latest in a series of demonstrations at Collins' offices. Demonstrators also held a sit-in at her Portland on Friday, the day the Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to advance Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate floor....

Collins isn’t stupid. By now she has figured out that the whole thing was a scam.

I still think Collins is a YES.

The left has done nothing but piss her off.

I can't help but remember the frenzied effort Hannity put forth to torpedo the election of Judge Moore. I don't know if he had the clout to take the entire credit, but if he did not, it was not due from lack of effort on his part. We could really use Moore's vote right now. Did Hannity ever do program after program on Ted Kennedy being unfit for the Senate after he left ‎Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in his car?

Why so long to figure out the obvious, sheesh. Fake Flake and Murkowski don't seem to see the obvious.

Murkowski is nothing but a lying traitor.

She can’t be trusted AT ALL.

She is NOT going to give the Dems even an inkling. From what I could tell from the things she said, she was VERY impressed by Kavanaugh.

We have to have Collins and Murkowsky, I’m convinced Flake is a no vote.

Don’t make me laugh, pressure. Is sweetening a pie pressure? It’s all about self in the GOPe. Increasing one’s power and influence. To hell with the country. To hell with the party.

That’s what drove McCain. That’s what drives Flake. That’s what drives Collins. She’s a no.

If they stay quiet they probably will support him and don't want to telegraph to the nut cases who will protest violently.

Hannity has been dead to me ever since that spectacle. Obvious lies then, and obvious lies now.

If you can’t see this character assassination, then I don’t have time for you. I am FOREVER done with Hannity!

I just called Senator Collins and Senator Murkowski’s offices and left messages.

As United Stated Senator’s, they have an obligation to support all victims of sexual abuse, male and female.

They need to make known that making accusations like Ford has, without any evidence, is detrimental to all true victims of crime.

I pleaded for them to speak out publicly against the smears on the Judge and his family and consider the long term effects on the children by these smears.

If you would like to call Senator Susan Collings, the # is 202-224-2523

If you would like to call Senator Lisa Murkowski, the # is 202-224-6665

I agree. Flake was always going to vote no.
