They could lose Collins and Murkowski though because she is likely to overturn Roe. mr_liberal Sep 2018 #19

That was my thought. Ilsa Sep 2018 #12

Thats probably part of it too. mr_liberal Sep 2018 #13

How do we know he wasn't Trump's pick? honest.abe Sep 2018 #24

Not really related but: we would like to see the RBG movie, anyone have a link? dem4decades Sep 2018 #11

CNN may show it again and it might even be showing at local theaters still Pachamama Sep 2018 #21

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe she is more overt about opposing Roe V Wade Tom Rinaldo Sep 2018 #23

One snag. She's a she. librechik Sep 2018 #25
