By Sarah K. Burris
After being shredded online Monday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) was trying to clean up her vote to support anti-choice justice Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Collins, who has long claimed to be pro-choice, said that she believed Kavanaugh when he lied to her saying that he would uphold all legal precedent for abortion cases.
The Supreme Court announced Monday that it would strike down the Louisiana law that required abortion physicians have hospital admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. Chief Justice John Roberts said that he must follow the precedent and strike down the law because a similar Texas law was also struck down.
Kavanaugh, however, voted for the law to be upheld, flying in the face of his promise to Collins.
In a statement Monday afternoon, Collins claimed, Kavanaugh gave no indication in his dissenting opinion that he supports overturning Roe. It ignores the precedent of other abortion cases.

So, either she's too stupid, dense, and naive to be a U.S. Senator or she's lying. Either way, she needs to retire.

She needs to start doing something she is more suited for - perhaps .... gardening or bird watching ...
then she can be concerned about the weather
