Sen. Susan Collins: If Brett Kavanaugh lied, 'that would be disqualifying'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told reporters on Monday that if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh lied in denying that he sexually assaulted a woman at a high school party in the early 1980s that it would "obviously" disqualify him from a seat on the nation's highest court.

"Obviously if Judge Kavanaugh has lied about what happened that would be disqualifying," Collins said during a brief gaggle with the press outside her office.

Kavanaugh has vigorously denied that the alleged incident ever took place, and a White House official told NBC News Monday that Kavanaugh has said that he was not at the party. Kavanaugh gave the same account to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a Hatch aide told NBC News.

Collins also continued to demand a public hearing on the issue with Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, a position which seemingly puts her at odds with GOP leadership. Collins' first demanded a public hearing, with both parties under oath, in a tweet earlier Monday.

2. Here is a list from 3 hours ago about where each senator stands

on this issue. Below is the list of Democrats (and one Republican) who want to delay the vote, the short list of senators who want more information, and the very long list of senators (mostly Republican) who have stayed silent.

5. Lady, he's been lying to your face for 30 years.

He's completely disqualified, and if I was a Yale person, I'd be calling for the revocation of his law degree, disqualifying him completely from any position other than burger flipper. Indicted burger flipper with a long criminal history.
