What are people planning to do to protest Collins' inevitable YES vote on Kavanaugh?

Haunt her for the rest of her living days.

Edit: And vote blue in 2018, donate to her opponent in 2020 and vote against her in 2020.

Sounds like harassment

Sounds like a snowflake doesn't know how to take a joke.

Sounds like an electorate putting political pressure on a public official elected to represent them.

Don't want to be confronted in public? Don't run for public office.

If Collins votes no, every single door to a cushy post-Senate lobbying career will be slammed in her face, and she knows it. We know where this is going, we know how this ends, we've seen this movie before.

How do as a country react to the abrogation of justice that is that fucking drunken sweaty gargoyle Brett Kavanaugh on the SC? Protesting isn't going to cut it.

Vote and hope enough progressives get in that they impeach him.

Otherwise, keep your powder dry and stock up on popcorn and watch the "Land of the free" go the way of Rome only at a technologically accelerated, corporate greed dictated pace.

2/3 vote required to impeach a SC judge.

Going the impeach route won't happen barring a <5% scenario of two, three dominating election cycles consecutively.

Feel helpless, so not much difference from any other political news.

Collins DC office: 202-224-2523 Collins Portland office: 207-780-3575

No excuses. If you think it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter if you call either. NO MORE APATHY.

If she hasn't heard or voices by now, anything after the fact certainly won't sway her on anything related.

yeah, I'm sure her voicemail would love to hear your voice.

Hope the Dems have at least as strong a candidate as Tom Allen in 2008 and preferably one stronger than that, and vote for them? Where have you gone Mike Michaud...

My hope is someone like Stephen King runs, self-finances his own campaign, and donates all the money pledged for Susan's democratic opponent to charities all over Maine.

That would truly be... terrifying for Susan.

If she votes yes on this scumbag after hearing his partisan tirade during his testimony, I'll have lost my last shred of respect for her. I already pledged $20 to her future opponent if she votes yes.

That's what I've come up with so far. I'm an hour and a half away, but this is the closest one I'm finding and I'm going to try to get there.

Maine would be a lot better without so many unhinged liberals living in it.

Thank collins foe doing the right thing. Kavanaugh has no evidence against him after 7 FBI investigations. He is innocent and has been dragged through a terribly bias political smear campaign. Democrats should stand quiet for once.

-24

Even if he didn’t do anything wrong, you really can’t excuse his behavior during his testimony. He is not the type of person who should be on the Supreme Court. He’s hotheaded, partisan and abrasive

19
jackgoffigen•

Of course you can, he was wrongfully accused, you're dead wrong on this.

-9
VanceFergusonGo Blue!•

He was accused, many witnesses and accusers were not interviewed, and they were given a week.

Replace the name, "Kavanaugh" with, "Clinton", and I'm pretty sure you'd have blood coming out of your, whatever, and the propagandists on Fox would only somewhat jokingly be talking about needing to take up arms against the government.

16

Nope, he behaved like a petulant child and I’m not going to debate you on this. Get over yourself.

PS: There are many things really stacking up against him, I would bet my life savings on him being guilty, but he’s not on trial anyways. He had a job interview and he failed it.

11
alwaysreadyEdit this.•

If he was the opposite, he would be just as guilty to you

-6†
rucksacker•

Whether he's innocent of all accusations and regardless of his temperament his stark partisanship absolutely disqualifies him. Unless he's prepared to recuse himself from virtually every case that comes before the court.

jackgoffigen•

His reaction to unfounded claims of rape, gang rape, drugging womrn, sexually assault and being told by democrat leaders of the u.s. that he needs to prove he's innocent bothers you. Hahahaha

biiigtuna•

“Innocent?” This isn’t a smear campaign. You’re ignorant.

18
alwaysreadyEdit this.•

He would be innocent. There is no evidence or corroboration.

-8†
KusOmik•

Testimony is evidence.

Also, it’s a job interview for a lifetime position, not a criminal trial.

15

That's cool, but it's not

jackgoffigen•

Your side lost but you don't matter, senate judiciary committee and FBI investigated ot and found absolutely no corroboration. Your complaints are insignificant.

Oh, you're one of these guys who's always winning. i get it now. Peak employment at the quickiemart and furious lonley masturbation are the new status symbols.

I wonder if you watched Dr. Ford and Kavanaugh's senate testimonies. Kavanaugh is clearly unfit to sit on the Supreme Court. He made reference and blamed the accusations on the Clinton's and left-wing opposition groups. The only one here who is unhinged, violent, and biased is Kavanaugh. Might be why over 1,000 law professor's (including those from his alma mater) signed a letter stating he is unfit to not only be on the Supreme Court, but any court.

This isn't about Blue vs. Red or winning at all costs; this is about the future of our country. No, I won't stand quiet. Anyone who watched Kavanaugh's testimony should not stand quiet. Collins is selling out on all of her "morals" and values if she confirms Kavanaugh. Mainers, Americans, the entire world will remember her choice. History will not remember her fondly. Collins will not be reelected if she confirms. We need to stand up and let her know. Simple as that.

yes another great win for white male mediocrity. If he didn't want any scrutiny he should've declined to be put up for the court. But keep on keeping on comrade. To avoid the easy mislabelling you'll use now to somehow pigeon hole me, never a democrat.

Thanks "foe" checking in Fox.

Accept_Me•

notice how everyone who responded to you did not refute your point but instead...

  • called you ignorant
  • Said you read Fox News
  • Said something racist against white people then said you were Russian

These people are losers. They are life's losers.

(Checks profile history)

  • uses "womp womp" and the word "retard" still

  • preaches conspiracy theories

  • does not understand Le'Veon Bell's contract dispute, and most egregious sin of all, thinks people give a shit about his fantasy football takes.

Oof. You seem insufferable. Please continue to stay away from us, "losers". We wouldn't want someone as cool as you around us.
