Unlike most Kavanaugh critics, she actually took the time to do her job. She read his opinions, she had in-depth interviews, she listened to the accusers, and she applied a process of the rule of law versus the rule of the mob. She rose to the occasion.

Amen. I have a renewed respect for her. Wow she stated only facts and truth about Kavanaugh’s history on the bench and while Dr Fords account was so raw there was nothing to prove her allegations. Susan Collins was the most professional in her reasons for voting yes!

Unlikely Senator. I respect her decision but her outrage over the process and the influence of special interest groups completely omitted the Merrick Garland nomination. You can’t have it both ways. Senator. That cannot go down in history as thoughtful and reasoned.
