Collins privately raises concerns about new allegations, lack of subpoena for Kavanaugh friend
CNN ^ | September 26, 2018 | Phil Mattingly and Manu Raju

Posted on 09/26/2018 5:05:20 PM PDT by C19fan

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.

This is the Democrat program of the ‘drip, ..., drip, ...’ torture technique. Keep posting a new accusation to keep the MSM focused on the new rather than the idiocy of the rapidly discrediting previous accusations. The Kavanugh nomination started in June, where were these accusations then???? This is the Democrat equivalent of the NFL 2 minute drill, an all-out offensive to overwhelm the defense! Paying attention to every new accusation will just keep moving the vote back which is the Democrat Game Plan!

VOTE!!!!

“The Des Moines Register reports that Grassley is open to postponing the vote.”

I can believe it. Most politicians and other influential men have supported feminism for decades. Here’s one example of why. Granted, there are also the fat donations from political/regulator class folks.

Sen. Chuck Grassley and “your wife”

“Conrad looks shocked and laughingly replies, ‘I used to like you,’ before saying, ‘Oh, you are good.’ Without missing a beat, Grassley responds: ‘Your wife said the same thing.’”

I hope Kavanaugh’s friend SUES everybody who dared mention his Name when describing his alleged participation in Criminal Acts.

We can lose Collins and Murkowski if Flake and Manchin are on board.

Collins is a coward and an idiot. The entire world can see what is going on. She's enabling evil.

If Collins goes Murkowski will follow and then game over.


Nonsense. You think Manchin is going to stand with these Democrat psycho crazies? Not a chance. There maybe be a couple theatrical “maverick” GOPers who vote no but the red state Dems up for election will pull Kavanaugh over the line.

the Senate turns out to be a dysfunctional bad joke

perhaps we’d be better off without it?

at the very least, why aren’t there any rich conservatives willing to step up and fund some replacements for the handful of senators that cause most of the trouble ?

wife just saw an AD for Aldi about 30 seconds ago, and she saw a guy sitting in the shopping carriage like a baby and said to me that women are ruining this country.

We are heading like Sweden with how some women in power think. Flip of the coin is that some of the strongest leaders in history have been women. It is liberal women who are the problem

Nothing new here. The United States Senate has long been the bottom of the beltway sewer.

Didn’t any of these women have a good friend when they were younger? Aren’t friends supposed to protect you when you are vulnerable? Even if it is just holding their friends hair back when she is puking.

No they're not. I think one thing most older people are good at is picking up on people's lies. It's about something "that doesn't click".

Kavanaugh will be confirmed.

That’s baked in now. The opposing party is run by demonic Marxists.

This was the plan all along. The repukis get to give Trump the middle finger and saddle him with another ‘associate’ who is either a criminal or sexual predator.

The swamp is irredeemable....Nuke it from orbit.

I think Collins is thinking very clearly. Let me hear the bitches...she'll be able to pick out the lies.

And she will vote FOR Kavanaugh.

They’re attention whores, and are eating this up. We can only pray that they’ll see the show is about over, attention will dwindle, and they might just as well do the right thing in the end.
