"I’m torn here, obviously we should all have access to our representatives, but are they supposed to literally drop everything without warning? What if she’s got a deadline? Is there a better way to do this?"

Well, the Senate certainly has been a beehive of activity this year. Sen. Collins surely has all kinds of deadlines.

... and have sat on McConnell's desk languishing for six months because he refuses to bring them up for a vote.

Yes, that is why the Senate is so busy.

She then expresses her concern for twenty minutes (all the bills at once, not one at a time) and then announces that she's on board with whatever trump has decided

*** I used look over and not vet, because vet suggests she looks them over until she truly understands them. Look over, she flips through a few pages, reads the first line or two and makes her decision

Call the cops on your constituents. Way to get out the vote for the Democratic nominee.

I've always considered her kinda an idiot. Now I understand that shes also just a bitch (in the sense that that was a real bitch move on her part...as in, lowlife and otherwise beneath her position as an elected federal senator).

She's still playing to the hilt that she's some kind of "moderate".....she's beyond pathetic and sickening.

Folks are on to you. You had best start packing sooner rather than later. It will make the vacating of premises come January 2021 so much easier. And as an extra bonus, there will be no more constituents exercising their First Amendment rights for you to sick the authorities on!
