BREAKING: Senator Susan Collins has doubts. "At this time I'm not certain that Judge Amy Cony Barrett is the right person to replace Justice Ginsburg. I hope that my colleagues in the Judiciary Committee will be able to alleviate my doubts."

1. Words, just words. n/t

[Cartaphelius]

47. The world knows she has "doubts"

but what remains unclear is whether she has a conscience,
self-respect as a human, or a spine. "But for the grace of God",
is now just another forgotten republican cliché.

[spooky3]

2. Maine voters, we are begging you to kick her out. Nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. I doubt she has actual doubts.

But I am concerned she might have some concerns.

[BBG]

42. Her concern would be duly doubted

And all her doubts unconcerning.

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Concerns are next

Right after that she'll cave.

[bottomofthehill]

5. I have doubts about Senator Collins so we are even

[NJCher]

6. Gasp!

That's all. Just "gasp!"

[Walleye]

7. Aaaackk! Come on Maine voters. Please put this woman out of her political misery

[BlueNProud]

8. Wouldn't it be up to the nominee to alleviate doubts?

Not her GOP colleagues.

[crickets]

54. +1

If the doubts were real, yes. That's the way it's supposed to work.

[Bleacher Creature]

55. This was exactly my reaction. NT

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

67. well, they could send her some $$$$

that would quell her doubts, fersher.

[Blue Owl]

9. Oh I'm sure they'll alleviate her doubts

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Just had doubts

ten minutes ago,butt,once in the Bathroom I realized it was the real thing. Flush it Lady.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

11. She always "has doubts", and then does the

wrong thing.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

12. Where do "doubt" fall on her "very concerned" scale?

Has she already spewed one of her "very concerned" statements?

Is she preparing another of her "learned his lesson" statements?

Vote Collins out.

[smirkymonkey]

62. I'd put it somewhere between "Severely Concerned" and "Troubled".

[zonemaster]

13. Oh, don't worry. Once her Judiciary Committee compatriots start droppin' the Benjamins

into her campaign, those doubts will vanish like kabuki smoke.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

14. Oh, Susan

I'm sure they will be able to alleviate your concerns by holding a vote...
Seems to have worked every time in the past.

[BamaRefugee]

68. took the words out of my mouth!

[jpak]

15. Voted for Sara

Too late

Lol

[Mike 03]

16. Well, Lunch with Mitch will assuage her doubts, I'm sure. We've seen this

scenario before. Will she given another one of those ludicrous press confeerences to announce her decision?

[intheozone]

17. This is Collins telling McConnell he will have to buy her off

to get her vote. She needs to something to take home to voters in Maine to try to win re-election.

Just my opinion, but we have seen this move from her over and over, we know how it plays out.

Come on Maine, vote her ass out!!

[Buckeyeblue]

74. Unless she is going to hold up the confirmation vote, Moscow Mitch doesn't need her.

[ananda]

18. I'm so glad Gideon will replace her.

There is absolutely no doubt that Barrett is the wrong
person on every level.

[jpljr77]

19. Bwahahahahahaha. She's so predictable. Here's another prediction: "To maintain the integrity of the

Constitution and judiciary, I am announcing my cautious vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. I am confident she will impress us with her non-biased legal judgement." - Susan Collins, Oct. 24, 2020.

[LAS14]

20. I used to have mild positive feelings about Collins. We spend much of our summers...

... in Maine, and I was yearning for moderate Republicans to bring sanity back to politics. But she permanently cut the cord for me when she said she though Trump would learn his lesson. I can't believe she's that stupid, so she shifted from sane to cynical in my mind. Irredeemably cynical.

[11 Bravo]

21. Yes, but is she "deeply concerned" yet?

Fuck Susan Collins.

[Brainfodder]

22. This routine again?

I hope she gets the attention she deserves.

I am concerned.

[madaboutharry]

23. Does she have any awareness as to how

stupid she sounds?

[Nevilledog]

27. I'm concerned she has no clue as to how stupid she sounds.

[Omaha Steve]

24. Donate here to get rid of Collins

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sara-gideon-for-maine-1

[DFW]

26. I know one thing that will come from her doubts and concerns

NOTHING

She will vote the way McTurtle tells her to, like she always does. The only thing that could change that is for the vote to get scheduled right before the election, McTurtle has 52 votes solid, and releases Suzy Creamcheese to vote against Amy Phony Carrot to show how "independent" she is.

Please, Maine, don't fall for it.

[gratuitous]

28. I'm sure that a Justice Barrett will be properly chastened at this hearing

Sen. Collins is quite sure that Barrett will learn her lesson. You know, just like President Trump did when she voted to acquit him during his impeachment "trial."

[Mike 03]

29. Here's a link for anyone who wishes to make polite but firm comments to Senator Collins.

https://www.collins.senate.gov/contact

Or maybe not-so-polite comments. That's okay too!

[Thomas Hurt]

30. LOL....

[Swede]

31. Or as Lucy used to say to Charlie Brown -

I'll tee up this football and you kick it. I won't snatch it away, I promise.

[icymist]

35. You would think that by now they'd get somebody else to play Lucy.

This actress gig is getting kind of old.

[idziak4ever1234]

32. Too little, too late.

[TruckFump]

33. IMO, Susan is gaming the voters.

Maine if a pro-choice state. That's the reason for her statement.

However, she will never live down believing Boof Boy would support choice.

[Baltimike]

34. same old routine *again*. Pay it no mind. She will wlak lock step

She always does

[dalton99a]

36. So predictable.

"We fooled them real good!"

[Layzeebeaver]

37. The nominee is the one who should remove doubt

Not her committee members.

[BlueNProud]

49. Yep what a weird statement from this wretched phony.

[beachbumbob]

38. As long as GOP can muster 50 votes, Collins can have doubts

Along with any other Gop senator in a tough race.

[sarcasmo]

39. Susan Collins needs attention.

[blueinredohio]

40. Moscow Mitch will alleviate her doubts.

[rso]

41. Collins

Isn't she one one of the two (With Murkowski) that already said she would not vote for Barrett ?

[splunge63]

43. lulz!

[BSdetect]

44. Consider your doubts pre- alleviated Susan.

[apnu]

45. Ah there's the Susan Collins we all know. "doubts" mean "where's my pork"

We've seen this with her before.

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul do the same thing. They'll have "doubts" fake some maverick move, grandstand a little, then at the last moment, vote on party lines.

She's really going to have "doubts" for a long as possible in the election because she's behind in the polls in ME and may lose her job.

That's the only reason I'd think she'd have "doubts" but possibly hang ACB in a disgusting attempt to save her Senatorial career.

[aikoaiko]

46. translation: hard yes.

[AnnaLee]

48. Is she asking for help with campaign donations?

QUID PRO QUO?

[NewJeffCT]

50. I'm sure some extra funding from Moscow Mitch

will help to change Susan's mind

[tavernier]

51. And she's also concerned

that Maine postal workers have fixed the letter sorting machine. Things look shaky for poor Suzy, election wise. Must clutch pearls extra tightly.

Oh Sue... don’t use Justice Ginsberg’s name if you intend to soil it in a few days. Better yet, just don’t say her name at all.

[spanone]

52. I'm sure they will Susan, idiots are easily led.

[lagomorph777]

53. So she's gone from opposing to almost ready to vote for Amy Coney Island.

Fuck U Suzie!

[aaaaaa5a]

56. You mean... "She's concerned." NT

[doc03]

57. I am concerned about her doubts

[JDC]

58. Empty rhetoric from an empty suit

[Baitball Blogger]

59. Translation: They can vote her through without Collins of Murkowski.

[EleanorR]

65. Yep. Mitch said- we don't need your vote, so try to buy a few Maine votes with your fake concern

Surely no one falls for this anymore.

[McCamy Taylor]

60. She is asking for a bribe

[helpisontheway]

61. Vote her out!! Nt

[Brainfodder]

63. Has she drowned in her doubts yet? Here, have all of mine then. Goodbye Susan!

[Codeine]

64. This person. Just. . . ugh. nt

[Hugin]

66. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FRICKING NOW!!1!!i!!1!!

Wait... What?

Oh, never mind.

[Demsrule86]

69. Is she concerned?

[Crunchy Frog]

70. Rushed to the hospital with sudden attack of the vapors.

[COLGATE4]

71. But is she CONCERNED??? nt

[UCmeNdc]

72. Collins again?

[Thekaspervote]

73. She's a disgrace. Women everywhere are not willing to play follow the man leader anymore

She reinforces that philosophy

[yellowcanine]

75. Of course she does. Bless her heart.
