Well ... it looks like we will have a new SCOTUS justice by Monday evening!!!  I am hopeful.  I am also hoping that she turns out to be a better pick than either Gorsuch or Kavanaugh and extremely hopeful that she doesn't turn out to be another Roberts.  I'm also still hoping that Romney will be a yes vote.  It would be nice to see 100% of the GOP voting for her nomination, but Collins I guess is expecting voting against this to save her seat.

Senate votes to limit debate on Barrett Supreme Court nomination, move toward final vote Monday evening

The Senate voted 51-48 Sunday afternoon to limit debate on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, setting up a vote on her confirmation for Monday evening.

Sunday's vote limited debate over President Trump's court appointee to 30 hours, meaning the full Senate will be able to hold a confirmation vote Monday beginning at approximately 7:26 p.m. ET.

"Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit is a stellar nominee in every single respect," Senate Majority Leader McConnell said on the Senate floor following the vote. "Her intellectual brilliance is unquestioned. Her command of the law is remarkable. Her integrity is above reproach."

Two Republicans voted against ending debate, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. Murkowski has, however, indicated that she will vote to confirm Barrett.....................

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Good.  Barrett was already vetted.  How many times more?  This phony  "meeting' to question her was not needed.  It was only to harass her by demon-rats.  Now, conservative Judges know how, to respond to evil demon-rats.  She was a good role model. Kept her cool.  Good for her. I didn't watch the whole kangaroo court session.

Susan Collins is a DEMON-RAT.  All actions and voting against POTUS and our country,  show that.  REMOVE HER. 

Voting against National Emergency at border.  VOTING TO NOT PROTECT AMERICA AND HER CITIZENS.

Susan Collins caucuses with the GOP.  Her replacement would caucus with the Democrats.
