Well old hag Susan Collins, you can officially kiss your Senate seat good bye in November. The old, washed up RINO hag will be the only Republican to vote against confirmation of SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney-Barrett tomorrow night, because Collins says she wants to be “fair and consistent”. Even the Alaskan witch Lisa Murkowski found out voting against Coney-Barrett was bad for her constituents, so she suddenly is supporting the soon to be SCOTUS Justice. Collins can kiss what’s left of her “GOP Career” goodbye.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, took a veiled shot at her party’s leadership in the Senate on Sunday when she announced that she would be voting against the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
“Prior to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, I stated that, should a vacancy on the Supreme Court arise, the Senate should follow the precedent set four years ago and not vote on a nominee prior to the presidential election.,” Collins said in a statement.
She added: “Because this vote is occurring prior to the election, I will vote against the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.”
Collins noted in her statement that her vote against confirming Coney Barrett to the nation’s highest court is not meant as a slight against the jurist but instead is a matter of “being fair and consistent.”
The Maine Republican’s statement appears to directly hit at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s stance to move forward with confirming Coney Barrett with just over a week to go before the presidential election. McConnell has drawn widespread criticism from Democrats and been labelled a hypocrite based on the treatment of former President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nominee and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals chief Judge Merrick Garland.
