Collins mum on whether she'd support replacing Ginsburg before election

[TexasTowelie]

Republican Sen. Susan Collins, amid the toughest reelection fight of her career, would not say Friday night whether she would vote to confirm a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before Election Day.

Maine’s other senator, independent Angus King, quickly issued a statement on Twitter making clear that he does not support a nomination process before the election.

Ginsburg, 87, died Friday at her home in Washington from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer. She announced in July that she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for lesions on her liver, the latest of her several battles with cancer. One of her final wishes was not to be replaced until the inauguration of the next president in January.

Her requests, dictated to her granddaughter Clara Spera several days before she died, left little doubt: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg said.

1. If she was smart, she would oppose it very quickly.

2. She's going to vote FOR it...

When she doesn't know how she'll lie about it right away, you know she's going to vote for the wrong thing again. She can't change, her hunger for power is too strong.

3. Yup. Plus she's mean.

If it looks like she’s losing she’ll absolutely vote for anyone Trump puts up as a straight f-you to the voters in Maine.

4. She'll avoid answering until after the election

And then vote for it either way.

5. Collins, Gardner, McSally, Tillis, Ernst.....

All of them will vote to confirm.

They can not afford to kill the golden goose that a post-war lobbying gig will bring. Can't collect the bribe if you don't deliver the vote!
