The Only Human Surprised by Brett Kavanaugh's Abortion Vote Is Susan Collins



-Snip-

Late on Thursday night, when hardly anyone was watching, Justice Brett Kavanaugh decided to conduct a covert op on whatever is left of the political reputation of Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine. You may recall that, when Kavanaugh's nomination was hanging fire, Collins did her Down East Hamlet act for a couple of days before announcing that she would vote for PJ's beer buddy. She explained her decision by saying that Kavanaugh had convinced her that he would respect precedent, including all those precedents that protected a woman's right to full reproductive health, including abortion.

On Thursday night, Kavanaugh proved that, at best, Susan Collins is the biggest all-day sucker in American politics today.

It’s the people who believe she is a moderate who are gullible.

I so hope she runs and gets defeated badly. I will donate to her Dem opponent, don't have much but will send all I can to remove this blight from the Senate.
