"I do support term limits, and I have pledged that if I'm elected I will only serve two terms, regardless of whether term limits law--a constitutional amendment passes or not. Twelve years is long enough to be in public service--make a contribution, and then come home and let someone else take your place."

Always makes you think she’s going to do the right thing or “seriously thinking about it”...and then Lucy and the football. Most of us knew better than to even hope this time.

Lying under oath to the Senate and vowing to seek revenge on the opposing party are now prerequisites for judgeships. Only those that exhibit loyalty to the GOP over the constitution will be confirmed.

$$$$$$$ talks doesn't it. Read this article. Blaming the truth tellers.

https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/11/susan-collins-kavanaugh-vote/


If this doesn't get you angry. Repigs are disgusting people and hypocrites. My my how they forget Merrick Garland.

Snip of article:

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine fired back at progressive activists on Monday who have been raising money to oust the senator in the event she votes affirmatively to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“I consider this quid pro quo fundraising to be the equivalent of an attempt to bribe me to vote against Judge Kavanaugh,” Collins told Newsmax. “If I vote against him, the money is refunded to the donors. If I vote for him, the money is given to my opponent for the 2020 race.”

Collins was referring to the joint effort by Maine People’s Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership to crowdfund in an attempt to compel the senator to vote against Kavanaugh. The campaign, called “Either Sen. Collins VOTES NO on Kavanaugh OR we fund her future opponent,” has currently raised over $1.0 million, with a goal of $1.3 million.

It needs to be explosively bad in light of all the extra rapes and assaults that will happen due to her & her party showing that assault and rape is totally acceptable as long as the rapist is white and rich and Repug. I hope she loses everything since she already has zero
self respect, no respect for other women at all & no integrity.
