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

No one promised to uphold Roe

“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,”

THAT IS PATENTLY UNTRUE.

DESPITE what this hapless, deceitful, veiled leftist hag conned herself into thinking she could support with a confirmation vote, NONE of these Justices painted themselves into the corner she now claims they did. They were circumspect answering questions in the Senate, but their careful choice of words under hostile questioning by no means bound them to either overturning or preserving anything.

Collins and her ilk are WORSE than the Pelosis and Schumers of the Earth; at least they’re not playing tomfool games pretending to be what they’re not.

Too often, that jackass is the deciding vote on the Nation’s critical matters. I suppose she’s not happy about being irrelevant on this matter.

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

An ethical supreme court judge will not announce how they would rule on future cases. Thus, I doubt what Susan RINO Collins says.

"“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,” Colons wrote. “Obviously, we won’t know each Justice’s decision and reasoning until the Supreme Court officially announces its opinion in this case Can't have no black babies up here in Maine, I don't care if abortion is black genocide," said Colons.”

Asking the justices to take a stand on how to decide a case not yet before them is foolish. The Senators asking such questions and demanding such a commitment during the confirmation procedure are just grand-standing, and are clueless when it comes to the judicial process.

“Senator Susan Collins accused Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch of reneging on commitments they allegedly made ahead of their respective confirmations.”

Where did they make such commitments? Not aware of any?

I’m not certain this leaked stuff is worth sweating over.

They may have several different opiniona out there at one
time, allowing for review to see how the justices like the
implications of what they read.

They may for instance have liked a ruling denying abortion
as a right, but reading an opinion expressing that may
flesh out their true feelings. They may realize they don’t
like the implications, they thought they would.

This has been leaked to sway the vote in November. It is
a transparent attempt by the Left to steal another
election. It may be based on a thinly veiled lie, the
implication of which is completely false.

That’s the Left, in all its inglorious nature.

I do not believe either man made any such commitment. I think what she is saying is not the truth.

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

Justices of the Supreme Court do not report to individual Senators, nor to the Senate as a body.
