Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) said in 2018 that she was convinced Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh wouldn't overturn Roe v. Wade. Now if the Supreme Court overturns it, it would be "completely inconsistent" with what the two purported, Collins said following news of the draft opinion. #CNN #News
Sen. Collins said justices wouldn’t overturn Roe. See her reaction now
No one believes Senator Collins is this naive. She was not duped. She got the result she wanted. She is responsible.
@EnnoiaBlog “Women’s” aren’t u forgetting Mens also in the woke society snowflake…
Except they cut the clip off where Kavenaugh was saying unless…..
Her reaction now: “Whoops, sorry about that………………….no, not really sorry.”
“I’m shocked, shocked that gambling is going on here”. Did anybody really expect this not to happen?
Here are your winnings sir!
And now, let’s turn to CNN’s “Republicans Shocked By Conservative Justices Doing Exactly What Trump And McConnell, et. al., Wanted Them To Do” Special Correspondent, Homer Simpson, for his report: “Doh!!”
“Your winnings, sir…”
Casablanca indeed
Susan Collins is either a horrible judge of character, a highly gullible person, or a massive liar. Maybe all three.
Yes on horrible judge of character and highly gullible, but I don’t understand your point about liar. How is she winning anything from lying? She’s getting screwed right now.
All three.
Any justice that said during their hearings that they wouldn’t overturn it and then vote to should be held up on charges of perjury. Unless of course they weren’t sworn in at that time but I sure hope they were!
ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
That was never asked. Cope.
I agree that what they are trying to pull is a crime against freedom, saying you aren’t going to do something than changing your mind and doing it isn’t perjury. Commiting a crime (or knowing the details of a crime) and lying under oath is perjury.
“Of course he’s learned his lesson. He’s been impeached.” ~Sen. Susan “That Nice Old Lady” Collins
@Gail Leonard He learned he can get away with it.
Twice impeached sunshine.
In order for anyone to learn a lesson, they need to first have a conscience.
If anything Trumps learned that impeachment without the senate is more of a symbolic gesture than an actual punishment.
There is no reference in the Constitution to “female”, and the only reference to “male” is to codify that males have suffrage — not females. Let THAT be on your mind, too.
@Phil Divver The person is referring to the original Constitution. This is all about the originality view of the Constitution. The original Constitution allowed slavery. Is bringing back chattle slavery on the menu as well? Marriage contraception, interracial marriage are definitely up for challenges if privacy is challenged. This will open the floodgates.
@Emily Hart You’ve already lost your mind….. Read the leaked draft and attempt to comprehend it …if you have that capability…
@trident065 You must be a mind reader….The only US Constitution document that is relevant is the current Constitution as it is written in its entirety.
Isn’t lying during your confirmation hearings while under oath classified as ‘perjury’?
It is question is what’s going to be done about. I hope this nullifies their seats.
*”I think he’s learned his lesson (Trump after Ukraine Impeachment)”*
Ya, her opinion is pretty useful. She’s NOT that stupid so…
Evidence suggests she lied to get what she wanted?
Evidence suggests the people of the great state of Maine should not have reelected her in 2020
Susan Collins has always played the people of Maine. Maine seems to be ok with a “player.”

All the women in Congress should join with democrats to pass federal laws to protect women’s rights. The world unfortunately follows US lead on such matters. #avoiddisaster
come on – seriously – how can you suggest that there are any countries in the world that would follow this land of the lost
When the press interviews GOP politicians, they should automatically assume that whatever they say is a lie. Any follow up questions should be based on that assumption.
@P M Toner Thank you. I try to spread my sixth grade education all around.
The same can be said about democrats
I am a retired Democrat committee member for over 60 years – and while I can see that there are some politicians whose positions are questionable to ME – the idea that everything anyone says is a lie is not true. There are lots of committed Conservative legislators who are actually in it for the right reason – to serve the public good. And there are many examples of conservatives who have served admirably their entire lives who do not deserve your portrayal – John McCain comes to mind. They are in the majority of conservatives – and they just have different politics from you. Do politician lie? Unfortunately they have to. Certainly FDR – not a Republican- Was lying when he talked about the Manhattan project as being about a NY bridge
Yep, and Trump “learned his lesson” after his Ukraine fiasco. Stop giving these people credit they don’t deserve.
For a country that keeps invoking “The Founding Fathers”, constantly ignoring the Constitutional separation between Church and State, yet criticizing countries (i.e.: Iran) for having clergy/religion driving the government, is beyond hypocrite. Shame on all who enable such actions. Why the same who want to impose their religious views on abortion commonly oppose social safety net legislations? How many of them are adopting kids? It seems pro-life is a twisted concept on these people’s minds.
@Tink stop trying to conflate OLD precedent that steps on equality with good equality under the Law. Noonw gives a crap whether people who grew up when women were second class citizens supported the old way. It doesn’t make the prior precedent any less WRONG. Nor the protection of individuals bodily autonomy any less acceptable. This INDEPENDENT and law clerk isn’t having your nonsense your serving up.
@Tink also the Constitution and Self-determination aren’t FEELS, pseugenius.
@Chris Stowell I was wondering when you were going to blame religion. I mean you already blamed sexism and old people. You did NOT disappoint. Lol.
Alito undermined his own argument by saying that the other decisions standing upon Roe as precedent don’t have the same moral urgency (or whatever the lying hypocrite said – I’m paraphrasing), and so would not be threatened. It proves this opinion is not based on the constitutionality of Roe, but rather on Alito’s personal ideology. But then, of course, duh.
Nobody I’d overturning Roe V Wade and RGB even said that it was a bad law.
Did you read all 96 pages?
@Timothy Kozlowski It isn’t a law, it is a legal precedent and Supreme Court ruling. Laws are acts of the Legislative Branch of the federal government.
To the majority of Maine voters: Please know your senator’s actions reflect on you as much as they speak to her judgment, integrity, and values. You voted her in when a viable alternative was presented before you. I’m sorry to name & shame but poor and marginalized women will likely die because of this decision.
@Joshua Ciresoli well technically she does represent you – it says so on her desk…
Cruz: “For god’s sake, don’t let The American People know what we’re doing!”
Republican motto: “don’t believe what I say today, tomorrow things change”
@Glenn Lavalle Oh forgot the “r”. Maybe you think Biden raised prices on those too. You really can convince yourself of anything Republiclown, can’t you.
@Sean M ?
@Sean M try to make sense Jr.
@Sean M you’ll have to try harder Jr.
She knew! She played the game and only suckers believed her. Everytime this type of issue came up she pretended to be undecided.
Every time she lies, her head shakes.
The supreme court is a complete joke.
Needs checks and balances ,Clarence
Thomas a perfect example.
Sen. Collins’ “mistake” isn’t really just idiocy; it’s betrayal. Beginning long ago with her endorsement of John Ashcroft, hers is a long, sordid record. She’s always known perfectly well what she’s doing.
