PITTSFIELD (WGME) -- Senator Susan Collins says she will vote against Judge Amy Coney-Barrett being elected to the Supreme Court.
Sen. Collins releases statement on Supreme Court Vacancy "It's not a comment on her,” Collins said. “It is a comment on the process of rushing through a nomination in such a short time before a presidential election."
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also said she will be a no vote for the same reason.
To block the confirmation, two more senators would have to vote against Coney-Barrett, but Republicans have said they have the votes.

Sen. Collins believes that liberals will all of sudden help reelect her if she panders to them. She will find out differently. Give them what they want and they will ask for MORE. It’s happened time after time after time.

Arrogant women like Collins and Murkowski hate women who are more accomplished than they are. The ol’ green-eyed monster is alive and well in the House Of Representatives.

It says right in the article on this page that they would have to lose two more.

Collins is stupid. She’s going to piss off her Republican base and it will do nothing to appease Dem voters who will vote for the actual Dem candidate.

This will not win her re-election. She’s going down. Of course that means another Dem senator. She’s a lose/lose and has been for a long time.

"It's not a comment on her,” Collins said. “It is a comment on the process of rushing through a nomination in such a short time before a presidential election." That is not her job - to make a political vote, her job is advise and consent. You don't cast a "protest vote" when you're being asked to vote on the person.She just lost any little bit of credibility she might have.
