Remember, the best time to kick someone is when they're down.

Except that the speech she gave was probably written for her and not be her staff, but by a conglomeration of the repub majority.

Democrats have forgotten we still live in America.

Hate, rage and revenge may gin up their base but that’s ever to win a majority over to their side.

Their increasingly unbalanced behavior will force people to draw conclusions - none of which do Democrats any good.

Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court and continuing a fight the country has no interest in pursuing - will not end well for them.

By all means, if they’re determined to be the Party Of Lost Csuses, then they should remember whaf comes around goes around.

This is a good article. MA has reason to be embarrassed by its US Senators, for sure. But they can't top Blumenthal in CT. Or the way Ayotte spit on her voting fodder, to the point of no longer being electable.

I thought that Senator Collins actually researched the issue and wanted to make the best decision. It was a darn good speech, even if someone helped her write it. She delivered it with conviction.

While Collins found Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony to be “sincere, painful and compelling...///

I found it to be a lie fairly quickly. What took Collins so long?

I would gladly trade Senator Collins for either of our ‘senators’ from Virginia. Maine is fortunate.

The democrat party has lost the right to govern. No democrat must remain in public office. No democrat has retained the right to vote.
Since the democrat party sponsored and did not condemn the lying false accusations against Kavanaugh, the party keeps the responsibility for what happened.

Peter ....... progressive is actually backwardness.

The attack on Judge Kavanaugh and by extension on America is a decsive backward movement to political nothingness

The progressive movement in America has no original basis. Everything proposed and implemented is stolen from the failing Europeans.

There was a time in this country when politicians and people of different political philosophies treated one another with dignity and respect.

I’m thinking of the Bank Robbery scene that opens “The Dark Knight”. After the Joker has the gall to rob the Mob’s bank and shoot the manager, the manager complains about current state of affairs:

“Criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. What do you believe in?”

She worked her butt off on that speech. As someone who drafts questions and makes arguments, you don’t just rattle off what someone else wrote for you. That speech was from her deepest convictions.

The speech was well drafted, reading like a graduate level thesis. Written by a very good writer, most certainly, but deeply influenced by its titular author, Senator Collins.
Two of the Republic stalwart’s favorite kicking posts came out as heroes in this debacle. Collins and Graham did us proud. They stood staunchly on principle, disdaining the petulance of Schumer and his murder of crows.

Can we please stop with the unsubstantiated allegations now?

Senator Collins’ speech seemed heart-felt and a genuine expression of her own analysis. She may have had help writing it, but it was her speech entirely. That’s why it was all the more compelling. It is one of the great speeches in the Senate chamber. Hopefully it will be studied in colleges and law schools for generations to come.

You really don’t know how US senators and the US Senate operate, do you?
