ReplyDeleteI never had a good opinion of Senator Collins. Of course I really didn't know much about her. Her speech today was fantastic. She intelligently layed out her responses to various arguments against the Kavanaugh nomination. She passionately dealt with the subject of sexual harassment. She explained how the advise and consent process has gone off the rails. And finally she said she would support the nomination.

ReplyDeleteI think he will vote Yes if he hasn't already (not sure at this time) but I heard when he leaves his sit in November that he is planning a new career as a lobbyist. No doubt.
DeleteHer speech was OUTSTANDING!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets confermend and get to overturn a bunch of queer legislation, screw the snowflakes and Gays.
ReplyDeleteNot since Winston Churchill or Ronald Reagan have I heard a more moving and well prepared speech.
