A Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday shows a plurality of Maine voters want Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to reject Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court and many will be less likely to support her for reelection if she votes to confirm him.

The poll found that 49 percent of Maine voters who responded do not think Collins should vote to confirm Kavanaugh. In addition, 47 percent of the total respondents said they’d be less likely to vote for her reelection in 2020 if she helped elevate Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

That number grows to 53 percent if Kavanaugh hypothetically votes to overturn Roe v. Wade while on the high court.

The poll goes on to show a full majority, 56 percent, of Maine voters surveyed think Collins should review Kavanaugh's full record and related documents before a potential vote. The Senate is under a tight deadline to do so.

Kavanaugh will pick around the edges of Roe v Wade IMHO-even though he said it was settled law today.

1. So good. Thank you, riversedge. Hope they increase the pressure immediately.

She's been screwing around far too long. Shame on her.

[Salviati]

2. Honestly, Maine has been screwing around too long re-electing her.

It's past time to dump her already.

3. She has pulled this maybe I will maybe I won't stunt before.

Show her the door.

8. Right and it is getting really old already

Time to do the right thing or retire. Not everything is about winning a damn election. She's been in the Senate over 20 years, she should do something that she can be proud of and let the voters decide. It wouldn't be the end of the world if she lost an election after all these years.

4. I've got a timeshare in Nevada I'd like to sell her.

Is she really that dumbly gullible or does she just sweetly smile like she is? She acts and speaks like some kind of bot.

6. Yeah I have the following for sale if she believes a word that corrupt POS says.

9. We should talk. That beautiful wetland estate. Are the alligators included?

DM me.

5. Right, he'll pick around the edges,

like Court did in Casey: Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992),[1] was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the constitutionality of several Pennsylvania state statutory provisions regarding abortion was challenged. The Court's plurality opinion reaffirmed the central holding of Roe v. Wade[2] stating that "matters, involving the most intimate and personal choices a person may make in a lifetime, choices central to personal dignity and autonomy, are central to the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment."[3] The Court's plurality opinion upheld the constitutional right to have an abortion while altering the standard for analyzing restrictions on that right, crafting the "undue burden" standard for abortion restrictions. Planned Parenthood v. Casey differs from Roe, however, because under Roe the state could not regulate abortions in the first trimester whereas under Planned Parenthood v. Casey the state can regulate abortions in the first trimester, or any point before the point of viability, and beyond as long as that regulation does not pose an undue burden on an abortion. Applying this new standard of review, the Court upheld four regulations and invalidated the requirement of spousal notification.

7. If she was running this year it would matter. Like most pols she thinks 2020 is a long way off

and all that time gives her a chance to get past this one issue.
all this stuff where people think Collins might someday do the right thing is just bullshit filler.
She's a lost cause for us.
She will vote yes for Kavanaugh
