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.”

There are six liberal justices.

If so, then I would assume there would be no way they would overturn Roe. Two justices are originalists. Regards

Purposeful leak will indeed put Politicians in a position of if or not they’ll speak up regarding this. Collins has shown her hand regardless of how delicate she make think she expressed it.

SCOTUS feeling out the temperature ....

She never seem to be upset at dem Presidents who renege on their oaths to preserve and protect the constitution. So who cares what she thinks about this? Regardless of the fact that she's wrong, they all studiously committed to respect precedent, not uphold Roe. She just thought Roe was the precedent and they said "hold on now ... it ignored earlier precedent, let's go back to that".

But watch, Roberts is on this. You know he's twisting arms and a mob parked outside the building will help him. He only needs one. He'll get it I bet.

Kavanaugh just seems like the squishy one. Thomas’s hearing gave him an enduring titanium backbone (”Don’t get mad, get even.”) where Kavanaugh’s rough hearing seems go have given him Stockholm Syndrome.

They already said it’s Authentic.

Pelosi and Chick knew it was Authentic yesterday.

Really, they told her they would not vote to overturn it? What is she doing in the GOP?

Collins has to say this given her constituency. What she really thinks about is irrelevant and unknown..

Consider.

Leaked o dark thirty.

Within

minutes

fence went up around s.c. building.
( as if someone knew leak was coming ? )

Protesters show up at o dark thirty with professional made signs
( as if protesters knew leak was coming and already had signs made ?)

Yesterday court installed brand new Marshal for s.c. security

( as if a politically reliable marshal was going to be needed ?)

White House has detailed statement ready to roll

( as if TalyBiden knew leak was coming ?)

KJB , who has no position on natural rights , is in the batters box

waiting to replace a right or left s.c. judge.

Who always pulls shiftycrap at I dark thirty ?

She's such a moron. Can you people up in Maine please primary her sorry ass and replace her with a decent Republican.

We really do need to ideologically improve the GOP if it is going to be of any use to us in restoring our Republic.

Oh, that’s true also.

They really hope to get the peons to rally round the ole Jackass Flag, too.

we’ll see this develop now instead of next month.

Either way, they’re masters at slippery politics.

If it also lets them change the decision AND rile up the Feminazi’s, so much the better.

OK, the NY Post says Roberts calls it authentic (but not final decision).

So Collins rips into SC Justices based on an illegal leak before an announced ruling. This is nothing but trying to intimidate an SC Judge.
