Hasn’t Collins already signaled her intent to vote to confirm?

Suppose she could fall for this charade.

Senator Collins acts like she is pissed with Diane Feinstein’s tactics. I think if any thing, the circus has made her more determined to vote for Kavanaugh.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a prominent moderate liberal voice and one of the Senate’s most conscientious worthless members...

There, fixed it.

-—If Collins were to vote to confirm Kavanaugh, her reputation as an independent voice would likely suffer a blow as that decision would be met with a barrage of criticism from Democrats and advocates of the “Me Too” movement.——

Oh, so let me get this straight: You can only be an “independent voice” if you always go against your own Party? I thought the whole point of “independence” is that you may vote with or against based on the issue at hand, not some knee-jerk need to side with the Dims.

But we all know how the media frames things, don’t we?

Collins has dropped some tantalizing clues as to her possible vote on Kavanaugh.

She recently indicated it’d be a whole other story if Kavanaugh had lied to Congress about this.

And we know he hasnt lied.

Senator Collins has set the terms of the accusers. They MUST vote under oath or nothing. She is right...

I do not believe Ford will show and expect an announcement by her attorneys tomorrow to that effect.

Ford should already be on the road. Doesn't sound like that has occurred...as we would have seen a helicopter in the sky by now.

We owe the a left a big thank you for inflicting their over top the antics on Collins. Nothing makes your case quite like sending an old lady a giant penis.

We are in this mess because the GOP would not help Roy Moore in his election.

There are a few democrats from Trump supporting states that will probably vote for Kavanaugh, such as Manchin.

No. If even 1 Republican votes no there will not be a single Rat voting yes to save him, bank it.

“Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a prominent moderate voice and one of the Senate’s most conscientious members, is poised to make or break Brett Kavanaugh’s chance at becoming a Supreme Court justice. A big reason for that is several Senate colleagues are waiting to see what Collins will do before announcing their positions.”

Yeah, right. If I were in the Senate I’d certainly hold my breath to see which way this cretin was going to vote before I cast my vote./s

Then Kavanaugh is fine. Collins is smoke-signalling she is a Yes.

Thanks for that, but you failed to replace “conscientious” with “confused”.
