OK, Susan make our day by voting the ethical way for once.
I know I’m dreaming.

“Obviously I take it seriously and believe that it should be investigated by the committee,”

That’s not what I could call raising concern, let alone renewed concern. It’s the same meaningless statement she’s been saying all along. When she calls for an FBI investigation then maybe it will have risen to an actual concern on Collin’s part. I hope she never hears the end of this from her constituents, it’s shameful how she’s propped up Kavanaugh all through this.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) raised heightened concerns

Concern level, double-beige! This is serious.

“I do not believe he’s going to repeal Roe v. Wade” - two days ago. Not “I don’t believe he would …”

“Raised concerns.” LOL. So lifelike! Comedy gold.

Yup. Probably leaked by Collins. I don’t expect anything honorable from her. Watch Flake or Murkowski. She votes NO only if one or both of them do.b

She really needs to stop worrying about how Mich and Roy Blunt feel about her, she is going to get flattened in 2020 if she votes Yes on Kavanaugh after a rushed/incomplete process.

At any point she can say “we need a FBI investigation” and I am a no until we get it. Walter Jones (R-NC) was just the first to call for this, so she does not have to be a leader.

Unless she’s giving her vote I don’t give two shits about her “concerns.”

Senator Suzie Madoff wants you to know that she is vewy, vewy concerned. Now just trust her.

This is like being handcuffed, in leg clamps, blindfolded and gagged, stuffed inside a small box. But Collins will find a way out. Houdini’s got nothing on her.

“Obviously I take it seriously and believe that it should be investigated by the committee,” Collins told reporters of the new allegation earlier in the day.

She added silently, “And if they don’t feel any additional investigation is necessary, I will vote along whatever comes out of the committee.”

She would not be voted out if she fell in line with the repubs on this issue. It’s shameful, but folks will support her. They will twist themselves in knots in order to do so.

Holy shit there’s ANOTHER incident in 1998:

“When they left the bar (under the influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually.” “There were at least four witnesses including my daughter.”

I can see and hear it now: “I demanded and received assurances — very serious, very strict assurances — that they in good faith do not think Judge Kavanaugh will actually rape underage girls on the bench in the middle of oral arguments. And so I can give my yes vote despite having some reasonable reservations. But I will be watching very closely, even though there is nothing else I could possibly do even if I wanted to, which I don’t.”

Collins is so yesterday. It sounds like there are quite a few Senators who where uncomfortable before the latest gang rape allegations. If Collins votes yes on Kav she is done, Stephan King as much as said so. She has already lost all credibility with the public and is working on losing any shred of dignity she might have possessed. She disgusts me.

It sounds like Susie left her spine out overnight. Thankfully, she’s an expert at rehydrating Jell-O.
