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.
Collins and Murkowski are spineless. Either they are Republicans or they are Democrats. They need to make a grownup decision and stop this waffling and continuous straddling of lines in the hopes of being seen as heroes to leftist feminists as that is never going to happen.
Good grief, RINO people are deluded idiots.

Unfortunately I don’t think the permanent radical Democrat take-over will be resisted very much. And that’s because that take-over will be slow and gradual. Sort of like the progression of the federal income tax.
Again, I apologize for being so pessimistic here. And I hope I’m wrong.
She getting her Flake on?
She just lost re-election. She’s too dumb to know it.
Why would she want to pull a McCain?
Whatta legacy.
We need to start a movement to repeal the 19th Amendment. This problem will go away.
Mitt Romney, please pick up the white courtesy phone...
Susan is trying to save her seat in Maine! Nothing more!
Only if the GOP in her state finally grows a brain. She's a fool. Her hardcore GOP base will toss her. Maybe she wants to lose and retire but can't bring herself to do it. Suicide by voter.
Not to mention a coward.
” Of course that means another Dem senator. “
It’s the rare case where she is any different than a Dem.
Remarkable how desperate Collins is to lose reelection.
Collins will squeak by AND we will not lose the Senate.
We gain 2, possibly 3. A new poll has dem Minnesota incumbent, Tina Smith, up just 7.

Gardener( Colorado) is the only Senate Republican who loses.
Annnnd that should do it. Moronic.
“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.”
We had the same thing here in Minnesota. A suburban GOP legislator voted in favor of gay marriage after for years promised that she wouldn’t. Her district had been getting a little bit more blue over the years and she thought that’d nail down the kinda liberal soccer moms.
It worked for one election cycle and then she lost in 2018. Part of it we can write up to the anti-Trump feeling that suburbs had back in 2018. But when given a strong Democrat opponent, all the kinda liberal soccer moms bailed on her and she lost re-election.
They were all posting on her Facebook site after the election “Gee Jenifer we’re sorry you lost. We voted for Carly (the Dem opponent)but we’re so happy you voted by gay marriage. Good luck in the future”.
You can’t trust Dems at all.
What about Romney now?
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.”

GFY, Senator.
I certainly feel sorry for anyone else on earth who would.
Might as well have an openly Democratic senator instead of a RINO.....
