Susan Collins goes full-on delusional over Supreme Court judges she voted for



By Josh Israel -October 29, 2020 1:14 PM

The Maine Republican continues to back the justices, who have already tried to destroy abortion rights.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) told voters on Wednesday that she does not believe the conservative majority on the Supreme Court would ever repeal abortion rights. But justices she voted to confirm have already tried to severely undermine them.

At a televised debate with her opponent, Democratic state House Speaker Sara Gideon, Collins was asked about the future of Roe v. Wade with the new 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

"I do not think that the Supreme Court is going to strike down Roe v. Wade. Not only is Roe v. Wade a precedent that people have relied on for decades, but it was reaffirmed in the [Planned Parenthood v. Casey] case 28 years ago," she argued. "I think it is extremely unlikely that the Supreme Court would act to overturn both of those precedents."

But the sole remaining member of the high court who participated in the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey case, Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented.

Delusions are fixed false beliefs. Lying is saying things you know to be untrue. She's the latter.
