Why she's not Republican vote her out.

Is their anyone in America who can replace her! Now!

Nooooo! You dweeb!!! Fill it now!!! Those reprobate Democrats would fill it in record speed if the shoe were on the other foot!!!

Shirking her duty.

'Wouldn't support' is different than vote to confirm. I have no reason to believe, based on her previous voting behaviour, she'll be rank in line.

They are being threatened by old dems Feinstein

She always seems on the right side of the issue until the vote. Then she votes straight Republican EVERY TIME. She is a good liar, like most Republicans. She pretends to care, but never does. The 'shit show' will continue.

NadineF45095143 After the election or inauguration? Words matter.

Susan... I call you out on your bullsh*t. you flip on your answers/promises more than all the pancakes at an IHOP.

I give her less than 24 hours to back peddle.

Thank you

She can say whatever, she matters little at the moment. 😂

Beyond stupid from the FakeNewsMedia

Another descent woman

She should switch the party...

When was this new law created that made the president not president after 3.5 years? He’s President. He’ll nominate Amy Barrett. She will be confirmed with or without Murkowski.

When was the last time the party holding the White House and Senate did not appoint a replacement Supreme Court Justice in an election year? Of course your listeners don't care, nor do you.

regardless, vote Collins OUT

Yet again, I feel unable to put my trust in her

NPR = Negative Presidential Reporting

Represent your constituents, lisamurkowski

You are so done woman! Bye

Not how it's done. Presidents job is to fill the seat, Trump IS the President and surely will do his job, may I suggest this rhino do the same! Our country is depending on it

Tell her we’re voting her out bye bye

Vote her out!

In 2016, McConnell declared that the next President should pick the justice. He knew the next President would not be black. But apparently he also knew that the next President would not be Democrat.

I’ll believe it when I see it

She must be up for re-election.

For context shouldn’t this article address Mitch and his injustice with Merek Garland?

I just hope she sticks to this and is joined by many more of her republican colleagues

She’s toast

This one needs to go. Vote her out!

Susan Collins will change like a mood ring! Can not be trusted! PYM!

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Trump is our elected president... so he gets to select

They've all said that, yet they do the opposite.

I hope that Mitt Romney and a few others have balls like their female colleagues!

FILL THAT SEAT

You better stand by what you've said!

RINO Collins doesn’t understand what’s at stake. Mirkowski isn’t any better.

Or we can go with what the Constitution says 🤷🏻‍♂️

We cannot trust a thing she says. EVER.

It is not up to SenatorCollins to approve the Senate Leader's prerogatives; it is up to her to do her job as a senator.

The question is, will she follow through, or will she do like the rest of the sycophants will do, and go through with the confirmation? Time to see if she is a woman of her word or not. FloridaIsRepresentedBy SkeletorAndTheSyocphant

Yea, right.

Because she caved to Democrats. I would be intimidated too.

Rino Susan Wake up Obama filled the seat when Justice Scalia passed Biden said that he would fill the seat following the constitution twice during a election When will you ever stand with your Party ? The people you represent see no hope FillThatSeat Stand MeToo SenateGOP

Both of these women . Come out talking and saying nothing . Trump comes in and grab their pussy and they are with him right or wrong

You’re 100% on the wrong side. The criminal democrats would not hesitate for a minute to confirm a Justice

Some good news, at least I hope, they are known to FLIP! Just like this 45 NoNewJusticeUntil2021

Shes another Rino, what do you expect

Why At this point in time we have a President. And he should do his duty and fill the seat... Makes no sense to wait ...

People are saying Doug Jones of Alabama will lose if he cites no!

We need Mark Kelly to win the Arizona Senate seat. He will take that seat immediately. Then we only need 3 Republicans to stop Trump and McConnell from replacing RBG VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

Not Republicans or Americans

You’ve broken faith too many times, Susan. I won’t put my trust in your feckless token protests against.

It was wrong to not have hearings in 2016 and it is wrong today. The Supreme Court is too important to leave a seat open. The pres. should nominate and the senate should vote. If sens dont vote then they should be removed for derelict of duty. scotus should be free of politics.

All I'm saying is any man they try to nominate touched me.

Where is Hunter Biden?

Obama was right.

She’s worthless like Justice Roberts: not true Republicans & can’t be counted on in a crisis:

She must be done in politics. This will ruin he career.

Let the 3 RINO’s MittRomney SenatorCollins lisamurkowski do their thing and the rest will save the republic - GoMitch MAGA2020LandslideVictory

Too late Susie

SenatorCollins this is what happens when you put party before country. Hope it was worth it

A nomination is just a nomination. The President's DUTY. Congress' job is to vote upon the nomination. Congress is refusing to do it's job AGAIN. Congress is useless to the People. It actually makes the People's business impossible these days. BrokenCongress

One of the few Republicans with moral fortitude...

Then she doesn't support our Constitution. Get her out!

Well Susan Collins, it’s about time you saw the light!

Nice sound bite. She’ll confirm.

Uh oh gettin scary. As a proud Utahn, if mitt Romney doesn’t support a new pick I will lose it.

What a shocking surprise.

They will cower 🤬

Oh you naïve children... they’re just negotiating the price of their votes.

I love how the majority rules.

Good for you, 👍

*should not a hard no. Sorry I won't believe it

Judges are supposed to be apolitical. Our government and the judicial system is becoming a joke

RINO

You are an embarrassment to the Republican Party! Grow a set and stand up for conservative values!

John_Scotus Don't trust either. They speak with a forked tongue

She didn’t say that, she said ‘until after the election’ .... big difference NPR... What are you doing? Slitting your own throat? You know if GOP win your toast, then what am I going to listen to in the car. Calling Nina, Nina!

Shes losing in Maine, if she wants to save her Senate seat she needs to put in a Justice now......

Fill it now and really piss off those control freak Dems!! Lol

“After the election” doesn’t mean squat when the lame duck period extends until Jan. 20, 2021. what matters is “after the next inauguration.”

She said inauguration, didn’t she? Lame duck trump could be just as dangerous.

Susan Collins won’t be re-elected. Hasta la pasta Susan

Not what she said! Collin’s statement is NOT a commitment. She doesn’t say, 'I will not vote on the Senate floor to confirm a Trump nominee”. I crossed party lines in 2014 to vote for SenatorCollins I got burned, hard. Fool me once... Same legerdemain here as Kavanaugh vote

I am glad that cooler heads may prevail and a sense of Senate protocol may still exist.

Collins actually expects anyone to take her for her word? TrumpLiedPeopleDied DurhamReport FireCramer TrumpFailed Senator Collins

The election isn’t what matters. It’s the next President and next Senate that matters. A lame duck confirmation is still a travesty.

I'd like a balanced court. I don't want it to far right or left.

R they supposed to wait 4 more yrs to see if a Dem is in office? Ruth should've retired during Obama's administration for this exact reason. But like anybody with power only death will take it away

FILL THAT SEAT.

After the election? So what. After the inauguration is appropriate if they apply the same standard that McConnell used when President Obama was president. 45 can still appoint someone between the election and the inauguration.

After all the B.S. they put trump thru in these past 4 plus years.....how dare anyone expect he will not go through with filling the seat.

2+ months between election and inauguration. I think they are being clear that they will toe the line.

I don’t think any have said they would actually vote “no” if McConnell forces a vote.

You believe them?
