      COLLINS: "The president has broad discretion to consider a nominee's philosophy, whereas my duty as a senator is to focus on the nominee's qualifications as long as that nominee's philosophy is within the mainstream." It sure sounds like she is going to announce a yes vote.pic.twitter.com/Ok5OgzTJX3

      Collins wants you to ignore Kavanaugh's entire record and take a leap of faith that he'll vote to uphold abortion rights. She seems to think he's actually progressive but just isn't self-aware about it yet.pic.twitter.com/rENyztkuRv

      COLLINS: "Opponents frequently cite candidate Donald Trump's campaign pledge to nominate judges that would overturn Roe. The Republican platform for all presidential campaigns has included this pledge since at least 1980!" Oh gee thanks @SenatorCollins that's reassuring!!!!pic.twitter.com/08L193Bctp

      COLLINS: "I asked the Judge point blank whether he had made any commitments to anyone at the White House, the Federalist Society, to any outside group on how he would decide cases. He unequivocally assured me he had not." @SenatorCollins can't really be this naive, can she?pic.twitter.com/hhVu2v3qQj

          COLLINS is trying to poke holes in Ford's testimony: "She testified that although she does not remember how she got home that evening, she knew she got a ride. Yet nobody has come forward to say that they were the ones that drove her home or were in the car with her that night."pic.twitter.com/2tMA41dACV

          .@SenatorCollins shamefully suggests Ford is actually a victim of a left-wing conspiracy: "Watching her, I could not help but feel that some people who wanted to engineer the defeat of this nomination cared little, if at all, for her well-being." What a joke.pic.twitter.com/STKkHXhbNc

          At no point during her ~45 minute speech did @SenatorCollins address the perjury Kavanaugh appeared to commit when he lied about his heavy drinking and high school antics 🤔

          With exception of Clarence Thomas, all of the Justices in SCOTUS’ conservative majority were nominated by Republicans who lost the popular vote. #democracy
