It was a good speech. But when you’re one of 100 people who are elected to the most exclusive club in the world, you’re supposed to be able to give good speeches. And to analyze with thought, reason, logic, and intelligence.
Good job, Senator Collins. But let’s just remember this is the standard, which sadly has become so diminished that it seems like something special when someone rises to meet it.
Sadly, it WAS the standard. The U.S. Senate was once known for being the place where legends like Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, S.I. Hayakawa, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and the best minds in the country thoughtfully and carefully debated.
Look at it now. It is now chock full of people with IQs barely above the moron level such as DiFi, Patty Bin Murray, Bob Casey Jr. and other examples too numerous to mention. Once upon a time in the not too distant past, Patty Bin Murray was the dumbest of the lot hands down. Now, she has fierce competition for that dubious honor.
I like the way Senator Collins started out her speech with examples of those who announced opposition to Judge Cavanaugh BEFORE he was even announced. That includes Pennsylvania's very own village idiot.
