Susan Collins Accuses Gorsuch, Kavanaugh of Reneging on Commitment to Preserve Roe
national review ^ | 5/03/2022 | CAROLINE DOWNEY

Posted on 05/03/2022 9:26:46 AM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

Responding to the Monday night leak of a draft majority opinion that, if adopted, would overturn Roe v. Wade, Republican Senator Susan Collins accused Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch of reneging on commitments they allegedly made ahead of their respective confirmations.

“If this leaked draft opinion is the final decision and this reporting is accurate, it would be completely inconsistent with what Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings,” Collins wrote. “Obviously, we won’t know each Justice’s decision and reasoning until the Supreme Court officially announces its opinion in this case.”

I am not sure Collins feels betrayed. In the first place, her words might mean that she doubts that the draft really reflects what Kavanaugh etc. are going to rule. Coney Barrett is on video saying she does not believe SCOTUS is going to overturn Roe.

video: Barrett says SCOTUS would not overturn the "core holding" of Roe

I did not know a decision has been publicized. Is there a dissenting opinion, or is it 9-0?

Susan Collins Accuses Gorsuch, Kavanaugh of Reneging on Commitment to Preserve Roe

Collins is lying or senile.

However, Kavanaugh, according to Collin’s own account of their conversation many months prior, did not make a firm pledge to preserve the precedent.

Maine has both RCV and RCV-enabled voting machines for a reason, eh?

Collins is relying on Barret and Kavanaugh to change their vote—if it was with Alito—to vote against the decision.

In fact, that’s the purpose of the whole leak.

100% political pressure on these two justices.

There are 3 liberal justices, and reports state Roberts voted with them.

Kavanaugh hasn’t “reneged.” He’s merely “grown in office.”

Let me remind readers that Collins played a huge part in confirming Kav.

“ Coney Barrett is on video saying she does not believe SCOTUS is going to overturn Roe.”

This is not the same as saying that she would not vote.to overturn Roe, Just that she doesn’t believe that the entire court would vote that way.
