Sen. Susan Collins, who could determine whether Brett Kavanaugh gets a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, raised serious concerns at a private meeting about the newest allegations of inappropriate behavior against the nominee -- and questioned why the Senate Judiciary Committee had not subpoenaed a close friend of the federal judge.

Multiple sources familiar with the private Wednesday meeting told CNN that Collins appeared unnerved by the latest allegation, citing in particular that it was a sworn statement sent to the panel, which carries with it the possibility of perjury for lying to Congress.

<>"...no rational woman would keep coming back to such parties..."<>

Maybe she was hopeful.

"Next time for sure!"

Someone needs to tell her they have sworn depositions from him and he is not being confirmed.

DO NOT give in to these dems!! if it’s over.. then it’s time for Trump and the republican party to step in and declare this NOT OVER.. He is right.. if he chose another one, they’d do the same to the next one.. Just don’t give in.. fight!

A good fight will win this and win in Nov... the people out here are not NY, Washington, CA.. they are good people who are hating this as much as I am.

For Collins sake, this better be fake news. I don’t trust the woman.

Then go after Heidi, Manchin etc to be safe.

Those two RINO’s should be voted out, and Sarah years ago when she had more popularity should have ran against her.

I’ve almost got my liberal dad on my side.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

If Kavanaugh was drunk in 1998 and shoved someone, I don’t care. Virtually every single creature in the Congress has done much worse than this.

When JBK held the highest security clearance in the country while working for Bush, Robert Mueller was the head of the FBI that cleared him.

Her voters are all democrats. She is a Rhino......

[hinckley buzzard]

My god, Susan Collins must be the heir to Barbara Boxer’s crown as the stupidest woman in Washington. I cannot even imagine how obtuse she must be to be saying this.

[cuban leaf]

Sure she does. Thanks CNN for that guaranteed notfake news.

HAHAHA! Just kidding.

[DAC21]

Welcome to the Banana Republic Ms. Collins. You ushered it in. There will be Brown shirt / Marxist goose stepping parades in the near future marching by your large granite Monument.

LOL!

[NutsOnYew]

Because Judge has already submitted his written statement?

[Ann Archy]

FUSC...you weak sister.

[Gay State Conservative]

Senator Collins clearly doesn’t have the slightest understanding of basketball...particularly the reason why the “shot clock” was instituted.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

If they delay the vote they lose the midterms!!! As much as I love Trump I would not blame the base for staying home!!! I can guarantee you evangelicals WILL NOT VOTE !!! The Republicans will get what they deserve!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!! They had the vote and these BASTARDS know this IS desperation by the Dems BECAUSE we had the vote!!!!

[CivilWarBrewing]

MEN need to take this country BACK and kick ALL females out of politics. PERIOD (no pun intended). Either that or declare a REAL CIVIL WAR on females and see who wins. I AM TIRED OF EVERY FACET OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL GOV'T BEING TURNED INTO DAYTIME TELEVISION, MOST SPECIFICALLY 'The View'.

ENOUGH! The rest of the world is watching this AND THAT IS EVEN MORE EMBARRASSING!!!

[OddLane]

Yup.

[38special]

The fix is in, these beaches are going to sink the nomination.
