Collins: I Will Not Support a Nominee Who Demonstrated Hostility to Roe V. Wade

Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) said on Sunday that any nominee for the Supreme Court that had demonstrated hostility to Roe V. Wade would not receiver her support.

CNN host Jake Tapper asked Collins about how President Donald Trump expressed desire to nominate justices who may vote to overturn Roe V. Wade if offered the opportunity. Collins, who supports Roe V. Wade, is a key vote in the Senate, where Republicans only have a one vote majority in the chamber.

"With all due respect, the Supreme Court, as we know, it overturns its own rulings all the time," Tapper said. "It has overruled more than 200 of its own decisions, once just last week and it is a stated goal of President Trump and Vice President Pence to appoint Supreme Court justices who will vote to overturn Roe Versus Wade. whether they said it on the campaign trail or they say it now, it's almost immaterial, it's a stated goal."

Deary, we all knew this without you saying it

Your pocketbook is much more important than the country. We all know you always vote for what brings you monay and allows you to be.

I live in Maine.

In 2014, I wrote in the name of a local Republican guy I know personally rather than vote for Collins.

She keeps getting elected because the RATS always run some ultra-left moonbat female state senator no one ever heard of, and Collins ends up looking good in comparison, which she is not.

I wish we had term limits.

Republicans have 54 Senators

No, they have 51, McCain will not be voting which is 50, Murkowski and Collins will not vote for a pro-life nominee, that's 48, and Flake and Corker will do anything to screw Trump, that's 46.

“Over the years I’ve had more than one liberal whisper to me that we need abortion to keep down the number of black babies.”

I have too (though it was coded “welfare babies”).

I'm not sure I've ever witnessed any SC nominee who has ever mentioned their feelings toward R v. W........

Political posturing by Sen. Collins and obviously time to remove her...........

As a side note, with every SC nominee by a Republican president since Justice Kennedy, the MSM has ALWAYS brought out the threat of R vs. W. being overturned......

It ain't happened in 45 years despite all the conservatives appointed to the court and it ain't going to happen in my lifetime.......

Fake News, Fake Crisis, fake everything............

So killing babies is okay with Collins??? you say???

I ask...the following...

Just wondering how many she may have gotten rid of...At 65, she never had children, she has no idea what being pregnant and children really are in ones life...
just wondering if she had abortions in her younger years?

Guess I'll be told it is none of my business...Voters are always wrong...Politicians are always right...hummm???
