Bob,
I think Collins is clearly lying. His record, the things he’s said about
abortion and birth control, and the things he’s done as a judge, make it very
clear where he stands. She’s being loyal to the Republican Party. Everyone of
the Republicans, regardless of what they’ve said over the past two years,
aren’t going to abandon the party and the wealthy donors who fund it.

Hi Miriam,
What I fail to understand here is why Collins thinks kavanaugh won’t vote to
overturn Roe VS. Wade or that he won’t rule that a sitting president is not
required to obey a subpoena.

churches, lawyers, conservatives, and even his own friends, Sens. Susan
Collins, Jeff Flake, and Joe Manchin say they will vote to confirm Trump’s
Supreme Court nominee, all but guaranteeing that he will clear the Senate
today. Collins’s expected vote in favor of Kavanaugh will

trigger more than $2 million in campaign contributions for her eventual
Democratic opponent in Maine’s 2020 Senate race, which were pledged by
activists hoping the financial threat would move her vote.
In her speech on the Senate floor announcing her support, Collins mentioned her
belief in the “presumption of innocence” for Kavanaugh, despite numerous
accusations of assault and harassment against him. Briahna Gray writes that, in
practice,

the presumption of innocence is only for privileged men like Kavanaugh.

Presumption of Innocence Is for Privileged Men Like Brett Kavanaugh, Not
Laquan McDonald or the Central Park Five
Briahna Gray
Trump’s defense of Kavanaugh shows he doesn’t care about due process unless
it’s for men like himself. He sees privilege as their shared birthright.

Raging Bullshit: The Injustice of Brett Kavanaugh and His Enablers
If Democrats take back the House, Rep. Hank Johnson will be the chair of a
subcommittee that has subpoena power to continue the investigation of Brett
Kavanaugh. He explains his position on the Supreme Court nominee. Former White
House lawyer, Supreme Court clerk, and current constitutional law professor
Kate Shaw and Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman offer an in-depth analysis of the
battle over Kavanaugh. The Intercept’s Peter Maass got a copy of Kavanaugh's
friend Mark Judge’s novel about their drunken high school years. We made a
radio drama of some of the scenes from the book.
