WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Calling the Supreme Court nominees testimony worrisome, Senator Susan Collins said that she is concerned that Amy Coney Barrett is too indecisive to sit on the nations highest court.
When she was asked a question, she often appeared hesitant, evasive, and wishy-washy, Collins said. Thats no way for a person serving in a high government position to behave.
The Senator from Maine said that Barretts dithering verged on being annoying and even aggravating.
The American people deserve decisiveness from their public officials, not relentless shilly-shallying, Collins said. This is the sort of vacillating that makes people despise you.
Asked whether she would ultimately vote to confirm Barrett, Collins waited for a full minute before responding, I am deeply troubled and concerned by what I have heard from her to date, but would need to hear more before I could come down one way or another on that.

(25,183 posts)If the vote in the entire US Senate takes place before Election Day, Collins might decide to go along with the rest of her party. I figure there is a strong chance that a sizable minority of the GOP base will leave that line of their ballots blank if she doesn't go along with the rest of them.

(4,723 posts)I mean, I could imagine Sue Collins doing exactly this.
Consider that old meme with the dog sitting calmly at a table, saying "this is fine," while the room is burning down. That IS Sue Collins.

Like a satire piece on Lindsey Graham groveling to his Dear Orange Leader. I wouldn't know it was a satire unless I find his last name on top of the article.
