Collins just announced her decision on Kavanaugh.

…YES!
Collins ends her 42 minute speech with: "Mr. President, I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh."
Barring some major development, Kavanaugh will be confirmed tomorrow.

Collins: Therefore I do not believe that these charges can fairly prevent judge Kavanaugh from serving on the court.

Sen. Collins, in a speech based heavily on her close examination of his record AS A JUDGE, says she’s a yes on Kavanaugh. Denounces leak of Ford letter as “unconscionable.” A speech to remember.

KEY REPUBLICAN SUSAN COLLINS TO SUPPORT KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION

Right before she made the announcement, she pointed out the HUGE HOLES in Ford’s story– holes that CANNOT be ignored. (For instance, NO ONE being able to corroborate her claims. Not ONE person.)
She even cited Garland, noting that the two (he and Kavanaugh) voted the same way in 93% of the cases that they heard together. #Resisters are triggered.
Wow, i really cannot believe that Susan Collins is citing Kavanaugh's overlap with Merrick Garland as evidence of his moderation. Where was she when Senate GOP refused to move on Garland's nomination?

COLLINS: "That Judge Kavanaugh is more of a centrist than some of his critics maintain is reflected in the fact that he and Chief Judge Merrick Garland voted the same way in 93% of the cases that they heard together." pic.twitter.com/YkdWKA7WcU

Cue the protesters. Do you think they realize yet that THEY’RE probably the reason she’s voting yes?
PS– BREAKING NEWS MANCHIN IS A YES TOO!
