Unless I am missing something we don't have an I am voting yes from 50 yet.

So this bitch saying a hard no is troublesome to me.

So she would have voted for Garland, but now she won't vote for Trump's nominee? Good lord let her arse get voted out.

19 times there was a Supreme Court opening in an election year where the president and senate were the same party. The record is 17-2 approved.

It’s not really that uncommon.

And yet....Mitch will still have the votes


Look, as much as I hate to have to say it, I can live with it as long as we have 50 other votes, if this helps her to get reelected. Have to play the long game. She will vote yes on Trump's appointment to replace Clarence Thomas when he retires sometime after the election, just like she supported Kavanaugh. Trump may need her in 2021.

Let's not forget that she did not vote for Kav either.

Boot her arse. I'd rather cede the seat to Dems than deal with a milquetoast RINO who we will never know whether she's an asset or liability.

Bye, bitch. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

Does she think she'll get Dem votes


Seeing how she has an R next to her name on the ballot ain't no Dem in Maine going to vote for her this time around. They detest Republicans.

In 2016, Collins was one of only two Republicans who opposed McConnell’s effort to block then President Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick Garland for the high court

Her vote for, and her impassioned speech, were a big part of his confirmation

Not because I might not support that nominee under normal circumstances, but we're simply too close to the election, and in the interest of being fair to the American people -- and consistent, since it was with the Garland nomination," Collins said.



Consistent with Garland? Obama didn’t have a Democrat majority in the Senate.

Anytime, a majority controlled the WH and Senate, they confirmed a SCOTUS nominee.

Guess what, Susan...you’re not being consistent with History.

She is losing to her dem opponent in the polls this week, over 70% or repub voters want the nominee before the election....so she votes against what her constituents/former constituents want?

Somebody better check her relatives bank accounts, or the location of her gun, either she is getting paid or she is getting ready to off herself.

No one can be this big of a fool.

bullshite. Get your fricking facts right. Collins most certainly did vote for Kavanaugh.

"The final two hold outs, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), both decided to support Kavanaugh.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) skipped the vote for his daughter’s wedding. As a courtesy to him, Sen. Lisa Murkowksi (R-Alaska), who had opposed Kavanaugh, voted present to offset the effect of his absence."

Mitch told her to vote no. He has the votes and wants to help her out and make her decision easier
