Ill admit to almost tearing up a bit.
Well the old gal came around. Her speech was actually really good and quite informed and she gained a bit of respect from me. Her voice is quite shaky. She sounds a heck of a lot older than she is.
Democrats would do very well to utilize Senator Collins method when evaluating potential appointments.
Thank you Senator Collins
Congratulations Associate Justice Kavanaugh!
By a razor thin margin democracy wins the day

All this winning sure is exhausting...naw, I never get tired of tasting liberal tears!
Trump said we would tire of winning. Not me, bring it on Mr President
President Donald Trump......my hat. Who in their wildest dreams could ever have believed that this was the man who God Himself tapped to literally save America from herself single handily. Amazing and incredible.

What GOP President other than Trump would have stayed with his nominee through all of this garbage?
Certainly not Bush I or Bush II. They would have withdrawn the nomination and replaced Judge Kavanaugh with some squishy middle-of-the roader.
That's actually a really important point Kyle. I could've seen W withdraw Justice Kavanaugh (it sounds so good) and appointing someone much less conservative
Kevin, I thought the same thing. I LOVED her speech but at one point near the end she used either "however" or "but" and my heart fluttered for about 3 seconds.
I'll be at a soccer tourney with our son tomorrow but will have thr fox new app tuned in on my tele.
I truly believe that tomorrow will be one of the most important days in the history of this nation.

I was working/driving listening to her speech. Without seeing her, the passion was oozing thru. Very well done Senator Collins.
I watched 3/4 of it and she was smiling quite a bit. She surprised me as I've always thought her to be much more left leaning.
she was clearly disgusted with her colleagues for the way this was handled
While I was happy she came to the conclusion, it's a shame that she had to make a nearly 30 minute statement as to WHY she was voting the way she did. But I totally understand. If she didn't lay it all out there like she did, too many people would have just thought, "There she goes, voting the party line!", not that what she said will stop any of them from saying it anyway.
She spent more time studying Kavanaugh's record that any other senator I would bet. An excellent speech and showed she had spent the time to reach her conclusion.
Anybody post a video?? Thanks
At the end of the day, the final vote will be straight down party lines, with just a few exceptions, possibly. Proving, once again, the whole "advise and consent" part of the process has turned into "posture and appease" for votes. Nobody is interested in placing the "best" candidates in our highest court any more, it's all about placing "their" candidate.
Ultimately, I'll be fine with Kav's confirmation, but will remain disappointed over the shit-show it has become.

"Disappoint ed is the Correct Word here!!!!!!!!!
That's not a word. If you want to be taken seriously, I highly recommend reviewing your grade school English books and a dictionary.
Your posts are embarrassing, both intellectually and grammatically, to everyone here. Please find another forum to troll....for your own sake.

Full Text: Susan Collins’ Senate Speech Announcing ‘Yes’ Vote for Brett Kavanaugh
I have to admit I did not think she was even capable of giving a speech like this.
Collins made a good speech, in which I agreed with many points.
Matt.
Based on his track record, an argument could easily be made that Trump is.
Easily, yes. Not honestly, IMO.
Matt
Demonstrably not the best?
;)
Dang!
I’m out on a hunt for a Big Muley and will miss the action tomorrow.
What time is the vote?
Spike: Soros is a cancer. He and his followers just seem to want to undermine the democracy of this country with a society of 'freebies'. The left wants free this and that. They can take a long walk off a short pier!
kyle,
they cant vote till 3:52 central time I believe
good luck with the deer
I just read Manchin has said he will vote FOR Kavanaugh.
Is that correct!
Kyle, Seriously? Watching FOX now. They haven't mentioned that but would be great.
