Senator Susan Collins of Maine plans to vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, ensuring that President Biden’s nominee and the first Black woman to be put forward for the post will receive at least one Republican backer.
After a second personal meeting with the judge on Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Collins said Judge Jackson had alleviated some concerns that surfaced after last week’s contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, when Republicans attacked the nominee for her record and grilled her on a host of divisive issues.

I believe Romney and Graham were already announced "yes" votes, and in the final tally she will get 15-30 GOP votes.
If you EVER thought this nomination could be stopped with 50 GOP votes +1 other, you really, REALLY need to re-examine your impression of the GOP - wjhat it is, what it's for and against, what its purpose in the system is, and, most importantly, does it have a role in saving the nation or not?
Romney hasn't said and after all that Graham threw at her in the hearings I don't see him being a yes.
You GOP guys are rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Collins would back BIGFOOT-—just to piss off the Republicans.
Good, then we can go with your obvious solution, and let the democrats win every election, because there is at least one thing we don’t like about the Republican candidate, so we’ll just stay at home and let the democrat win. Yeah, don’t get involved in the process at all, that’ll show ‘em...lol..I believe in making every effort to defeat RINO’s in the primaries, but when the general election comes along, I’ll hold my nose and vote for the one that reflects at least some of my own values, As far as comparing being involved in the process to drug addiction, I don’t know anything about that. Maybe you can give more detail...
All of your comment is hyperbole.
Let’s hear your solution. I want to see how not voting against the democrat candidate will limit their power and agenda. Not interested in insults, just explain.
You’re not interested in anything, you have your same ole lack of strategy and want to used and abused. You can’t see that voting for a RINO is voting for a Democrat, because you have no vision. You’re essentially stuck on stupid. You can’t see past a single election. You’re a sucker.
She was a given yes vote the entire time.
Still waiting on YOUR solution, rather than telling me that voting against the democrat is a “lack of strategy” Come on, your not the first one on this forum, or other forums that has said we shouldn’t vote for the lesser of the evils. But not one has either given a viable option, or explained how letting the the democrat win will either help in the current election, or future elections. Remember, no democrat ever said “I need to temper my liberal agenda because my margin of victory in the election was small” No need to call someone stupid for asking a question you apparently don’t have an answer for...
If this doesn’t make the people up there vote her out, nothing will. She is a joke!
