She’s from MAINE people. She’s up for reelection. She’s doing this for her own survival as a Senator. This should come as a surprise to no one with even half a clue.

McConnell’s Senate won’t go to bat for a strong social conservative. Guaranteed.

More of the same. As it sits today, the Supreme Court consists of two constitutional conservatives, (both in their 70s), two centrists, and four liberal activists.

That’s not exactly a no. She saying the process should start but shouldn’t finish. Not her call. We’ll have to wait and see.

She is 12 points behind in one poll. Probably for one of the few times in my life, I will not vote for a Republican candidate.

Romney is a Mormon, and I think high ranking in his church. Do you think the Mormons in Utah are going to forgive him if he ruins the chances of a conservative Supreme Court? He will be primaried and out on his next reelection bid.

One step closer to losing the Senate. It was at risk to begin with.

We can't be sure that she doesn't have "permission" from McConnell...or even the President...to vote "no" given that she's in big trouble in a rabidly blue state.It's possible as this is a giant chess game.We also don't know if Jones in Alabama might have "permission" from Rat Party Headquarters to vote "aye" in order to save his sorry a$$ in November.

There's a lot of whispered promises being made here both by McConnell/Trump *and* Rat Party Headquarters.

The fact that Mitt has denied being a "no" vote sounds pretty hopeful.

She can choose to vote yea, nay, or refuse to vote.
+++++
Are you sure she can refuse to vote? Like vote “Present”.

If so then a good compromise would to say OK to her and a few others to do the same.

Can’t we win with a 47 to 47 tie and Pence breaking the tie?

“In fairness to the American people”.

The American people elected Donald Trump, and there hasn’t been one fair thing said or done that would make anyone believe Collins cares about fairness, or she would protect the Supreme Court and get behind Trump.
