Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) refused to budge on her controversial support for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation last year, and now the consequences of that decision may be coming home to roost.

In an interview with Politico published Monday, the senator acknowledged that her 2020 reelection bid will inevitably be affected by her decision to vote for Kavanaugh after Christine Blasey Ford accused him of sexually assaulting her when they were in high school, but Collins stood behind that choice.

“Have I lost some votes because of my decision to support Justice Kavanaugh? Yes, I have. And I’m sad about that because I explained in great depth my decision-making,” she said before adding that there is still “an appreciation in Maine for someone who looks at the facts of an issue, votes with integrity and independence.”

Although I generally make my own baked beans, I do like to have some B&M on hand if time runs short. I was going crazy finding them in AL until I went into a smallish local grocery store called Renfroe’s. There were jars and jars (not even cans!) sitting on the shelf and I crammed them into my cart. I now have a supply for the winter, lol.
