Wade. Collins has said that when she spoke with Kavanaugh they talked at great length about precedent and the application of stare decisis. According to Collins, Kavanaugh said he agreed with what Justice Roberts said at his nomination hearing, in which he said that [Roe] was settled law.
Public Policy Polling (PPP) released data on Tuesday showing that only 35 percent of Pine Tree State voters currently approve of the job Collins is doing in the Senate while 50 percent of voters disapprove.
And in that poll she trails a generic Democratic Party politician by 44-41 percent. Those are strikingly poor numbers for an incumbentmuch less an incumbent who has been a fixture of Maine politics for over three decades. Collins was first elected to the Senate in 1996.
The never-missed-a-vote Senators current numbers are a stark contrast to a similar poll conducted by PPP last September which showed her leading a generic Democrat by six points at 44-38 percent; representing a nine point swing against her favor....................

(6,383 posts)...she's wishing for a "do-over".
I recollect that she blurted out after a closed door meeting that "K" considered reproductive rights "settled law". Probably thought, this would be your usual "hem and haw" confirmation and everyone would forget about it. Then.....all the other shit came out. Whoops, sometimes telephoning it in doesn't work.

(788 posts)She is the worst of the self-assessed 'independent / moderate' wing of the republican party. What a sham.. to drag one's feet until the exactly politically expedient moment is not what moderate-ness is, as far as I have been taught.
So, fuck you, Senator, and fuck the horse you'll ride out on. And it is a proper goddamn shame that it took putting the human rights of women in possibly permanent jeopardy to have done so.
