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....

Call or email her office and POLITELY encourage her to support Kavanaugh.

Let the left behave like spoiled brats, but don’t let her feel they are the majority. They are not

[Know et al]

I think the RINOs are going to have a difficult time justifying a no vote. Not that they wouldn't like to but after GBFs testimony, it will be hard.

The investigation is their only hope. JMHO

Good speech by McConnell in the Senate this afternoon citing the Declaration of Conscience speech back in 1950 by Margaret Chase Smith, the senator from Maine, the "native state of Senator Collins", as he slyly put it - Smith was speaking out against what was perceived as the slurs, anonymous accusations and character assassination by Senator Joseph McCarthy - which McConnell compared to what was being done against Kavanaugh today - "enough is enough" he quoted Smith as saying - enough is enough, Susan Collins.....

Collins just said she would vote to advance the vote, announcing that at 3 pm she’ll make her final decision.

God I hope she votes yes. I have my suspicions that she still might not though. Why would she call a press conference if she is going to vote yes? I’m worried.

Why would she call a press conference if she is going to vote yes?

Maybe so we can end this circus?

[Mrs. Frogjerk]

I honestly cannot take this anymore! I hope that’s the case.
