Sen. Susan Collins said on Saturday that the Senate should not vote on the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice before the Nov. 3 election, arguing the nominee should be chosen by whoever wins the presidency.
Trump immediately panned Collins' remarks, telling reporters: “I totally disagree with her. We won.” Collins has also not said whether she'll support Trump's reelection. Collins was a key vote in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh , a vote that Democrats have seized on as they try to unseat the four-term senator. The Maine Republican faces the toughest race of her career. Recent polling has Collins trailing Gideon. A Quinnipiac poll had Collins down by 12 points while a Siena College and New York Times Upshot poll had her down by five points.
Spread the word Susan.
Which side is she on ? Corrupt liberal communist socialist Muslims democrats or the Republican Party ( people’s party ) ?
Why?
She’s just trying to get re-elected...can’t trust a word she says...remember Kavanaugh?
SenatorCollins Please stay consistent with this message and do not let others bully you into doing the wrong thing! Let the voters decide!
Ok Susan....we know you're voting NO for whoever's nominated. Democrats got you scared....
She trying to save her skin.
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkoski, and Mitt Romney are Rhinos that needs to be voted out.
WELL SUSAN BEST NOT DO A FLIP FLOP AS SHE HAS DONE BEFORE & LET THAT SNAKE OUT AGAIN!
There is a difference between 1- we should wait for the election ‘day’ vs 2- we should wait for the election ‘results’
President Obam's Oct 19, 2016 Tweet instructing the Senate to confirm his SCOTUS nominee. 'The need for a ninth Justice is undeniably clear. DoYourJob' Aren't they all hypocrite?
No reason not to nominate someone right away. Dems would if they had the chance and it’s not going against what the rule was agreed&decided on in 2016 with Obama administration.This is different because RNC has the Senate and WH.
I sincerely hope you mean this and refuse to confirm a new Supreme Court Justice. Your Senate seat is riding on it!
She is a very wishy washy person with some decisions changed over a dozen time. Not very stable.
That is because she is a Trumpbase idiot and does not want to face her voters when she has to vote to confirm this Trump anti-Roe v Wade SCOTUS nominee.
Susan Collins says a lot of bullshit.
Talk is cheap. She needs to walk her talk!!!
No. FillTheVacancyNow
Let’s see if she backs it up with action.
The people cannot trust SenSusanCollins word. She’s demonstrated time and time again she’s a “flip flopper”.
Right. Trying to not give her constituents anymore reason to vote her out.
She needs to retire she has been leaning left for a long time
Collins is all about bullshit! Don’t even think she will do the right thing!
Who cares what she says?
Thanks for the laugh. We are voting
She says it but she'll support it as usual
Q-unt.
Adios
Suzy is Right however She’s Lost my TRUST
Nonsense but, they can vote just after the election?
So, assuming DJT does not get elected, it’s OK during the lame duck period after Nov 3?
annnd yet it has been done some 17 times in the past . . . Strong Constitutionalist Justices ONLY!!! save SCOTUS save America!!!
Or she'll be very disappointed.
Should not. She didn’t say she wouldn’t.
DRPECON We've been down this road with her before, she can't be trusted. She will vote a long party lines, all talk and no action for what's morally right.
What she says and what she does are never the same thing.
Susan Collins are you out of your mind. Replace now get a conservative in office as soon as possible. Both you and Mitt Romney need to be replaced.
But will she vote against it.
If she could hang on to that position for a hot minute, that’d be great, but I can‘t garner any enthusiasm, it‘s Susan Collins. She‘ll fold as soon as Moscow Mitch says „boo“.
But she didn’t say if she would vote, if given the opportunity - it’s always like that with her🙄 Vote .SaraGideon
Well, good thing it's not up to her lol
So what exactly are you saying, Sen. Collins? You want the Senate to vote in lame duck session or should it wait until January? Don’t be coy. Be specific.
That’s what this biatch saying now. She will change her mind after Hitler gets done talking to her.
She will melt.
It will not save you from Sarah Gideon.
THE INSANE GERMANS FOLLOWED HITLER, & INSANE AMERICANS FOLLOW INSANE tRUMP. RE-IMPEACH CORRUPT trump &republicons. FIX CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT ELECTIONS. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS FOR YEARS & DID NOTHING BUT CUT THE CDC, VACCINES, W.H.O., ACA HEALTH CARE IN THE MIDST
Trump for President 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nobody knows what the future holds so important decisions cannot be delayed. In life and politics procrastination can lead to unfortunate results, we don't know how the world will look tomorrow, much less in 45 days. Take action in the present
LizSzabo Doesn’t this stand contradict her vote on the Trump impeachment?
Bravo !
She is concerned 😟 again
It should be after the inauguration!
Vote her RINO ass out of office
I care why?
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” Mitch McConnell, March 2016
Can we hold you to this vow when the time comes to stand up to realDonaldTrump
I donated to her campaign and not a dime more Susan is Done
The Democrat's pet Republican speaks out...
Justice William Barr or Justice Ted Cruz? FUCKme!!! twice!
SenSusanCollins please keep that thought and stand with lisamurkowski and SenMcSallyAZ in the hypocritical actions of senatemajldr realDonaldTrump and LindseyGrahamSC
Over years Congress has passed various acts to change this number, fluctuating from a low of five to a high of ten. Judiciary Act of 1869 fixed the number of Justices at nine & no subsequent change to the number of Justices has occurred. Congress can increase number of justices.
The usual weasel. If she didn't include Nov. 3 - Dec. 31, it means nothing.
Not clear enough.
You can take Ol’ Yoga Spine’s word to the bank!
What she really means is 'don't worry. I'll vote for Trump's person anytime after the day of the election. Even if I lose I still have until January to vote.
Don't trust her. She's weak and folds easily
I'd be a little more impressed if she had said the Senate should not vote on a nomination made before the next presidential inauguration. I can see Mitch trying to ram through a vote on the floor of a lame duck Senate, even if Biden wins the WH.
Pure 100% theater. When the senate votes on trump’s nominee. She and the other trumpsters will vote to approve.
Ha ha ha She just woke on Trump🤷🏾♀️
I thought you were a Republican. Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Just a play to get votes. McConnell is letting her.
She like all Republicans they speak on both sides of their mouth!
SenSusanCollins So if Biden wins will you ALSO agree that NO VOTE be taken during lame duck. That is the REAL question you need to answer NOW
She finally says something I agree on. Unless she's just using it to get votes
We Need To Fill The Seat- Why Wait. If Socialists Get In Babies Will Be Killed. Socialists Will Have Guns - Green New Deal. From The Squad. Open Borders - Senator Collins You Are Aware More Then Most. Please Fill The Seat Before The Election. Thank You. Joanlapi2
She said it, but we all know she will. She’s an enabler. Maybe she will learn a lesson by not being re-elected.
She’ll flipflop
Susan trying to save her seat!!
When will we recognize this for what it is? A publicity stunt for votes
In 2016, Justice Ginsberg was asked by the NYT if the “Senate had an obligation to assess Judge Garland’s qualifications.” Ginsberg replied: “That’s their job. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.”
Don't trust a snake.
She’s not the President or Senate leader..is she? No..she is not!
Does she have her fingers crossed behind her back?
But then she will be happy voting for Trump’s pick in lame duck session. Wake up.
Just stop with this Susan Collins nonsense. She has no spine and will do whatever senatemajldr McConnell tells her to do! Never doubt it!
McConnell didn’t it for Obama, than it shouldn’t do it for Trump.
Can’t trust Collins or any Republican to do the right thing, maybe Romney a little. Not that the D’s have much of a choice in the matter. But a right wing SCOTUS means a raw deal for the overwhelming majority of Americans, including Trump’s base.
No problem if in the lame duck session...Don’t trust this lady
Say good bye to your seatSusan.
Died she think that will make Dems vite for her?
Senator lisamurkowski wants to wait for post inauguration. Collins is looking out for Collins. She knows she is going to be toast if she votes to nominate.... So, she says after Nov 3 when Moscow Mitch can push it trough during lame duck session.
Put her on record!
How about after the election?
Collins is wrong. We voted for this Republican Senate and President and they're still in office and must do their duty now. Nowhere does our Constitution say we need the input or permission of the opposing party.
.... and then she sent out a press release saying she thought long and hard about it, but voted to confirm anyway.
'Concerns ', but if 3 others don't join her, it's meaningless. Still trying to save her seat. VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER!
But will do so anyway
Her actual quote: “In fairness to the American people, who will either be re-electing the President or selecting a new one, the decision on a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court should be made by the President who is elected on November 3rd”
Wow
One more ally for the Demicrats.
Collins probably won’t be in the Senate next year
HillBeverlyhill She will ultimately do as she is told by mitch
Presidents are elected for 4 year terms. If she would like to change the Constitution to read 3 years 288 days, there is a process to change that term.
Collins says a lot of b.s. Then does what Donald tells her to.
Looks like she is Ruths sister!
SenatorCollins we need this nominee approved in next few weeks.
But what do you intend to do about it. You lost integrity with the ‘lesson’ you taught Trump. So what are you going to do? SenatorCollins
Whatever she says is usually hot air isnt it? Meaningless combinations of sounds.
Keep your word SenatorCollins !
Please Susan stand by your statement.
Whatever. She always talks big but doesn’t follow through
Will she stand by it?
God I hope she loses the election at least then we would know there is a democrat there .
A sensible Republican
Yeah will we all who the 3 fake Republicans are in the senate.
She needs to go
Think SusanCollins will get a Trump call and then he'll say 'I think she misunderstood the question'.....
Shut up SenatorCollins What will do on November 4th? Pack your bags knowing that you almost felt bad enough to withhold support for a demonic President. Almost.
And what else did she say?
The queen of deflection. you have to give her that. Instead of simply saying she would not vote for any nominee until after Jan 20th, she frets, sighs and takes yet another seat on the GOP fence. Should’a, could’a...geez.
It don't matter what She says, its what she does!! She didn't like how the Senate was running the Impeachment, but she still went along with it!! I hope she loses her seat!! In fact, I'm getting ready to donate to her opponent as soon as she goes along!
Oh it’s good to laugh. I can hardly wait for her pivot when she wants to curry favour from Donny.
Trump support: ”Vote Trump! We have a chance to put this country on a new&better path!” My answer: I know where that path leads;straight into a dark hell&with many dead who are on journey!More than 268,000 have already been sacrificed.Many hundreds of thousands more are waiting
Important note: She didn't say she wouldn't vote.
But she is willing to vote November 4th for a trump appointee
Sue is one of those ladies clearing out all the chocolate samples while saying “oh I really shouldn’t”
Saying 'Here's what I think' is worlds away from 'Here's what action I pledge to take' and following through.
So
But did she say she will not vote to approve if they do it anyways?! Words mean things.
Why would anyone believe her? Is she very 'concerned'?
Susan needs to lose election!
RIP Ginsburg. She deserves respect however she has no right to say hold off filling her seat. The Dems are using her death as a ploy for their own political agenda! Shameful. The President has a responsibility to do so and he will. Ginsburg
Yeah, she says that, but when McConnell crams someone through, she'll vote for them. Guaranteed.
That’s why Susan Collins isn’t on the SJC now...
Are we taking bets on whether or not she'll place her vote when he does? We all know he will, including this wind bag.
Did she?
That’s NOT what she said, liars.🤥🤥🤥FakeNews
Or during the lame duck
PantsOnFire
She should be loyal to GOP. She saw what those assholes did to Kavanaugh!!
Not quite. She said the winner on Nov 3 should appoint the next president.
She's in a tight race for her job....
Susan says lots of things ⬇️
Or in the lame duck session, Susan.
She is mistaken.
This is why republicans are p*ssies....Democrats would do the opposite doublestandard
Talk to me when she actually votes on it 🤔🙄
I do not trust that woman!
Hail Mary
OK, let's call it off. Hey, all you ACLU lawyers, don't go home yet!
KnockKnock
Even if Trump loses, he is still president until Jan 20, 2021. So, Dems will need to say until after the inauguration - not just until after the election.
She's placating.
Susan Collins is attempting to make a last ditch effort to court the votes she lost during the Kavanaugh vote. Don't be fooled. She'll be a yes no matter what. I donated to Gideon this morning so we don't have to watch Susan be concerned with a furrowed brow for 6 more years.
THEN INSTALL RIGHT WING UNQUALIFIED NUTJOB LAME DUCK
Should we start counting down to when she changes her mind now?
Yeah, Susan's words rarely match up with her actions.
vote these trump enablers out Nov 3rd crooks all of them FlipTheSenateBlue
She said they shouldn't. She didn't say she wouldn't if it was brought to a vote nonetheless.
SenSusanCollins is no Republican, no one cares for her. Her vote won't matter at all! We will have a New Supreme Court Justice ⚖ very soon!
But she'll flip. Always does.
DON'T BELIEVE HER. SHE IS A RAT IN A DRESS
