One House Democrat's accusation amid the Trump impeachment trial “stunned” even the most moderate of Senate Republicans, reportedly prompting GOP Sen. Susan Collins to write a note to Chief Justice John Roberts about decorum on the floor of the upper chamber.
Collins, R-Maine, is the latest to signal her concerns, after impeachment manager Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., asserted earlier this week that GOP senators were engaged in a “cover-up.”
Collins told Politico she was “stunned” by Nadler’s comments, and confirmed to the outlet that she wrote a note that made its way to Roberts after a tense back and forth between Nadler and White House Chief Counsel Pat Cipollone.
[snip]Collins said she gave the note to the secretary for the majority, Laura Dove, and “shortly thereafter, the chief justice did admonish both sides. And I was glad that he did.”

Hey Suzie.....ALL DEMOCRATS are VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS, LYING DESTROYERS of GOOD PEOPLE!
It hasn’t bothered this old bag when Trump was accused of every crime under the sun. Now that she’s “a victim” of the same liars she’s upset? What a self-centered creep.
The moderate Reps need cover. Nadler provided exactly that.
Everything going on here has to be viewed through a political lens. McConnell has whipped his 53 votes. Whenever a moderate can find some cover, or say something to create cover, they will. It’s all good. As long as 53 keep moving together, McConnell has it under control.
The last thing Pelosi should have done was to accuse the Senate of being part of the “cover up”. Turtle didn’t roll over this time. He got pissed.
LOL! Bridge and Tunnel crowd.
Collins’ Senate seat is one of the 1/3 of seats up for election this year. She has to every now and then pretend she’s not a full thoroughbred RINO until November because her popularity has plummeted as Trump has gotten more popular.
I bet Susan Collins was the girl in class that snitched to the teacher on a daily basis.
LOL! So now he’s PO’d murkycowskee and collins. Guess mittens is next. Sort of pointless to contact my two dem senators on the subject. But what the heck. I’ve gotten NON answers from them before.
Careful, our President is a New Yorker...
FL is quickly becoming a suburb of NYC.
[Dude — you’re from Staten Island. That’s really New Jersey, not New York. :-)]
So, looks like using new math, 24=73? Did anyone start a timer on these fidiots? (Yeah, I know, 24 hours over 3 days.)
No — “Hudson River crowd.” LOL.
Collins is disingenuous. A political chameleon not to be trusted. Ever.
Precisely. Susan is making a big public to-do against the Democrats so when she votes against Trump it will look fair and balanced.
Exhibit B is schmucky Schumer
President Trump is from NY as is his family and as are many of those in his administration. You are generalizing.
Is that to say they’ve finally stfu?
Yep, I’ve heard that people who live there, make distinctions among Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, etc. Even though all are in the city limits of New York.
I’ve bener been there but have heard Staten Island has a suburban feel to it.
And Schumer backs up that impression.
“Absent an objection from either side”
Senate Rules bar objection.
