1. Not Appalled

enough Susan, that you would vote against kavanaugh. If you do vote for him, you are a traitor. History will be must unkind to you.

3. Let's let Collins vote "yes" before we vilify her

I live in Massachusetts and I will work in Southern Maine for her opponent in the next election.

10. Senator from Maine

Susan Collins is a senator from Maine so doesn’t have a congressional district

12. Wow. You don't know the difference between a Congresswomen and a Senator?

You should educate yourself a little bit before you post.

That's fundamental stuff.

13. You are right. I guess I didn't even think about it - just said the first thing that came to mind.

I will make more of an effort next time I chime in.

2. Get comfortable, just lie back and let it happen.

Thanks, Susan. Will the Rs wear masks covering their faces?

4. Let me translate that for you.

Give me time to cover my ass so I can pretend to be a moderate while I end up toeing the party line.

5. Blasey Ford is likely more concerned that her testimony will have no

Impact on people whose minds are made up to ignore her, than with feeling “comfortable.”

7. There is nothing that is going to stop them from

confirming Kavanaugh. He's a liar like the President and will fit right in with the GOP.

8. susy q making nice again only to vote for Kavanaugh in the end. Grassley said he

would be confirmed earlier today. This is such a sick show.

11. Too bad I don't take Collins seriously anymore

Remember, she helped trash Obamacare on a promise from Trusty Trumpy.
