Maine Republican Susan Collins said Thursday she does not foresee a Republican filibuster of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, but she’s withholding judgment on her own vote until after the summer hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
And in a statement that may further bolster the prospects for Kagan’s confirmation, Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), a potential swing vote, said he was comfortable with Kagan’s explanation of Havard’s ban on military recruiters at the Law School.

FILIBUSTER IS A MUST!
....Collins toast....?
Not for awhile. She’s not up for reelection till 2016.
Am I the only one that when hearing Susan Collins speak, wonders if she has some kind of ‘impediment’?
And yes, I’m serious.
Second a question for the forum. I recall reading somewhere a few years ago one of the Ditzy Twins from Maine, Collins or Snowe, worked as Cyrus Vance’s administrative assistant in the Carter Whitehouse. Anyone know of this?
So far he has been quiet about it.
This is what Boxer does for Feinstein. Alas, all things are relative. Unfortunately for Maine and California, if brains were dynamite, the four of them together couldn't blow their noses.
Apparently, no one ever thinks to ask what the husbands of these political bimbos do. The answer is, they get very, very rich. While you're pondering that factoid, throw in Mrs. Pelosi.

Can’t bring yourself to filibuster someone who doesn’t believe in freedom of speech as our Founding Fathers intended?
Hopeless. Collins should be run out of office along with ANY other Republican, and any Democrat claiming to be moderate, who does not support filibuster.
Because Republicans are like groundhogs — they’re afraid of their own shadows. And they love power almost as much as Democrats do, so they try to please the media and others who will never like them.
IOW, they’re not only the Stupid Party but the Gutless Party. The symbol shouldn’t be an elephant, it should be a jellyfish.
GOP=Gutless Old Phonies.
Hardly. Jellyfish at least sting when attacked.
I believe this is smart politics to give him a chance at re election in liberal Mass.
good comment...Hope that is exactly what he is doing.
All true, but it still doesn’t answer my question.
Did one of these two idiots, Snowe or Collins, work for Cyrus Vance as his administrative assistant in the Carter Administration?
She will try and make sure of that. Hope she enjoys her last year in office.
2014.
She has been that gutless, since elected, and she is still there.
Susie worked for Cohen when he had the defense gig.
We The People have been more patient in the past then we are today as we witness the premeditated destruction of our country, destruction of our Constitution, and theft of our freedom. We have no patience for RINOs or RATs.
