If you can justify it for the lower courts, why not the Supreme Court?

I find that many consider Senator Susan Collins a "RINO" .... Leftist love that she sometimes vote with them and praise her. She does what SHE considers best Represent the PEOPLE who elected her.

A Texan doesn't have to agree and neither does a West Coaster .... she is NOT their Senator.

She gave the MOST Impressive Speech I've seen on the US Senate Floor in many decades - maybe the most impressive ever. She certainly deserved her own thread ... she carefully laid out her case and gave her reasons for her Vote "case by case" with ALL of the concerns she had.

It's the very first speech about the Confirmation of a Supreme Court Judge that actually addressed the importance of a Senator's JOB to "Advise & Consent" and the importance of that job. She did her homework, she takes her job seriously.

I'm sure she is aware that the Rabid Leftists will come after her ..... but the Reality is they started attacking her months ago. They didn't scare her off - she just kept doing her Job.

High quality post. I agree

...you would be right, if they had anything on his job record they would not have had to resort to lies and this whole made up mess

They have made all women suspect.

All the whacked lefties are saying how this decredits women...and they are right..and still don't get it

Murkowski speaking now....

[Rachel976]

She's a no....no surprise. I just want to hear how she justifies it in her own mind.

So I’m getting her no vote doesn’t actually have to do with Alaskan issues? Hmmm, wondering what it is then.

DAMN, the left hates facts......

After this vote, we should revive this to sooth hurt, delicate left wing feelings:
