Lost amid the uproar over Senator Susan Collins’ support for the GOP’s tax plan was another highly controversial vote cast by the Republican lawmaker this week.

On Tuesday, Collins voted to confirm Leonard Steven Grasz, one of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees and an opponent of abortion rights and laws protecting LGBT Americans, to a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit.

Collins, a supposed pro-choice moderate, cast her vote for Grasz despite the fact that a committee appointed by the American Bar Association (ABA) unanimously determined him to be “unqualified,” largely due to the fact that the conservative Grasz appeared unable to detach himself from his “deeply-held social agenda and political loyalty to be able to judge objectively."

1. She must be a true Republican at her core...

Even though she sometimes masquerades as a "moderate."

Whatever she is, she makes me sick. She has betrayed all women and the entire LGBTQ community.

5. Sadly, none of the current Republicans in the Senate can be called moderate

They are either as conservative as Reagan or Tea Party insane. And they all will put party over country.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I am so disgusted with the national Republicans! They don't represent us AT ALL. n/t

[mvd]

7. Yes I hope Collins gets beaten next time

I am sure most of Maine does not want this tax bill or judges rated not qualified!

10. Nah, she's just old and lost her brain.

[erronis]

15. A true repuglican. She was bought out - say $10M?

Doesn't matter how much - it's all funny money to the kochs/etc.

Collins, as others have said, is getting up there and probably couldn't fight a smear campaign that the empire would mount. "Say, Susan - could you see your way towards a nice retirement with an untraceable untaxable bank balance of say, $5,000,000? No, not enough? How about $10M and you'll have to STFU about how your state and the country and the world is being screwed..... THought so."

30. YUP !!!!!!!!!!

Playing the Nutcracker again and again, that;s where...

4. She likes Trump

Heard Her on TV the other day say Trump has always kept his promises to her.

[Kajun Gal]

11. She will realize he buffaloed her!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

12. Well there you have it.

She’s only concerned about what she can get. He’s kept promises to her. DGAF about promises broken to everyone else.


🖕🏾

[Duppers]

22. Exactly!

Just now posted in another thread...
We know it always comes down to something personal for these assholes. Whatever affects them is all they care about.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. Lord how I hate them.

8. This is one of many reasons why praise for Collins is unwarranted.

I have room for her because one of the companies I cursed is declaring bankruptcy.

[BigmanPigman]

31. How did you do that?

I perform "The Spell to Bind tRump and All Those Who Abet Him" monthly. In fact there is a nationwide spell set for midnight EST and 9:00 PM on the West Coast. I have been performing it monthly since Feb when I first learned about it. Your spell seems to be pretty effective. What do you do?

[BigDemVoter]

13. For anybody who yammers about what a "moderate Northeastern Republican" this fuckbucket is. . . .

She's a fucking DUMB piece of SHIT. She's willing to sell her soul for any right wing cause that comes her way. I fucking HATE her.

[maxrandb]

20. I have been saying for a while that the only response

To ANYONE with an R after their name is;

Go fuck yourself sideways with a First Edition hard cover copy of Atlas Shrugged you worthless piece of amphibian shit!

They all need to get beaten like a Keith Moon drum set.

Fuck Susan and her bullshit Good Retrumplican act.

24. The next time someone here thanks her for a vote

Against something we progressives don’t like, I am pulling this one out.

[Afromania]

27. There isn't a truly decent republican in the whole lot.

Each and every one of them down to the person is willing to do the wrong thing 95 to 100% of the time. They'll do it right along party lines and tell you that's not what they are doing.

In reference to her tweeting out support of the Tax Bill:
