‘Given the proximity of the Presidential election, however, I don’t believe the senate should vote on the nominee priority the election in fairness to the American people

He had a different opinion in 2016
You’re right. She had the opposite opinion in 2016 when the Republicans rightfully wanted to wait until after the election
-PJ
in other words, she has no respect for the voters who picked trump in 2016. and gave the senate majority to Republicans.
why not say nobody gets to fill a court position , you leave all the vacancies until the next election.
it might help her if she votes no but we confirm a judge anyway, if we dont, she will be destroyed by hyped up democrats wanting to stop trump.
Well, Collins is an idiot if she thinks the left hates her because she’s too cozy with President Trump (as the ads suggest - “Trump’s puppet”.
The left does not hate Susan Collins. What they hate is the “R” on her chair. They want it to be a “D”.
Now that she’s alienated a huge part of her base, the only way she can win now is to convince the democrats that it’s not necessarily important for democrats to strive to become the majority in the Senate.
Call the roll. Have her vote counted for all Mainers to see.
Glad I never sent her any money. Now, she will never get anything from me.
I had heard that because McSally was appointed, that he could be sworn in early.
I am not educated enough to state the accuracy of being sworn in early.
It gets played up by the MSM and the demonicRats who want
to game the issue.
No, Collins whomever wins the election can then nominate. She is too stupid to have thought of qualifying it like you did.
GOP thinking being in the senate is a job is the problem.
Exactly. Once they get there they think their entire purpose in life is to stay there. Any reason they gave the people to get there the first time is a long-forgotten BS promise to just get there.
Politicians are scum. Just different degrees of scum. President Trump is NOT a politician and it is one of the main reasons he gets little to no help from them. Even his own party conspires against him. Why? Because they know he’s not one of them. They see him as an intruder.
I support the GOP as the lesser of two evils but I am not a Republican I am a Trump supporter. I hope the Bush and Romney types are kicked out over time and the party becomes more Trumpian then I will join.
Read a great article that dived into USSC appointment in similar situations. The reality is they, except for one, got confirmed before the current term ended.
One thing I took from this analysis was that the time to confirmation today will probably range between 45-60 days.
So she can have the best of both worlds. Appear to oppose this for her citizens BEFORE the election and then do what she wishes AFTER. This even if both she and President Trump are both lame ducks.
Same here. I am getting inundated with daily texts and emails from her campaign requesting donations, even though I live in NJ.
With Collins being in such a tight race and needing republican voter financial support, I am surprised she would take this stance against confirming a Supreme Court nominee put forth by President Trump.
I guess she wants to be forcibly retired by losing this election.
Strangely, I’ve been receiving campaign donation requests from Collins by email for the past several months, after never having any communication or connection with her office. I know mailing lists are endless, but I’d love to let them know just what I think of this despicable RINO, besides unsubscribing from her list.
DOPE.
Yes! 3 can defect and Pence will break the tie.
Translation -
I have not been shown adequate attention or been offered enough ___ to agree to vote.
