1 NY Post - Vote was 50-49 with two Republicans, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), voting with all Democrats against his confirmation.

2 Kinda makes me wonder why it's so important to re-elect Susan Collins in Maine. As bad as the Democrat candidate might be, how could he/she be any worse than Collins?

3 Collins' vote against the SAVE Act was the tripping point for me. She not RINO, she's Democrat AFAIC.

4 We'll probably find out soon enough, Collins is trailing her opponent, by more than 10 points if the polls are to be believed. However, I haven't seen (not that I looked hard) any polls since the news earlier in the week that the Democrat fathered two children with a second cousin.
And Collins vote some of the time, is better than none of the time that we'll see from the Democrat

5 She’s an old fashioned, country club Republican, not much different than the old fashioned Democrats. At least she is another body toward Republican control of the Senate, while the Democrat is another far left pervert.

6 If she's so old-fashioned, she should have voted for old-fashioned paper ballots and in-person only voting at designated polling stations.

7 Because if Democrats are allowed to rig elections with mail-in ballots and computerized voting machines, we'll never be able to elect any more Republicans.

8 @6 she's trying to get re-elected and voting against what Maine voters don't seem to want, certainly won't help us keep that seat.
