Collins starts by condemning special interest groups who have opposed Kavanaugh. Looks like she's voting to confirm.
Now, Collins is touting Kavanaugh's ABA rating.

I guess you missed this, @SenatorCollins: The American Bar Association is reassessing their "well-qualified" rating of Kavanaugh. The ABA says they are evaluating Kavanaugh's “temperament” based on his Sep 27th performance.

Collins lays out, in great detail, why she doesn't believe any of Kavanaugh's accusers, basically calling them all liars – including Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. What a god damn disgrace she is to women everywhere. Fuck you, Susan.
"Explicit statements from the FBI report contradict statements Kavanaugh made under oath." You read the the FBI report, right @SenatorCollins?

Leonid Teyf, a wealthy Russian national living in NC accused of money laundering and plotting a murder-for-hire, has ties to Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin ["Putin's chef"], who was indicted by Mueller election tampering.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

(THREAD) Collins votes YES, so Kavanaugh’s confirmed.

This is the finale of the confirmation VOTE, but it is NOT the end of the #Kavanaugh ISSUE. 1/14
The FBI “investigation” was a sham, and that makes Collins’ special pleading for her YES vote a sham. It was a sickening performance. 2/14
The fatal weakness of her defense of her vote is that there was no meaningful investigation. Merely seeking corroboration in the form of direct, eyewitness testimony from the participants of the 1 Jul 1982 meeting does not constitute a meaningful investigation. 3/14

Collins really sounds like a yes.

Get ready to unleash heck.
It really sounds like she's acting as though she only has to explain her vote on the grounds of protecting Roe v. Wade, and is treating the rest as a bunch of salacious rumormongering by "special interest groups".
Don't be afraid.

Be angry.

Collins begins to speak. Protesters are shouting "VOTE NO."
Collins: This process has been "so dysfunctional," like a "caricature of a gutter-level political campaign." "Within moments" of Kavanaugh's nomination, she says, "special interests raced to be the first to oppose him."
Collins: "We have seen special interest groups whip their followers into a frenzy" by "spreading falsehoods" about Kavanaugh's record.

LET'S TALK about @lisamurkowski and her NO proceedural vote on #Kavanaugh. I look forward to hearing more from the Senator in her own words. In the meantime, some thoughts. She is a Republican, make no mistake. But she's also a Republican not beholden to Party. 1
In 2010 Murkowski won a WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN (you try remembering how to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I) against a right wing Republican who had primaried her. He had GOP $$ and establishment support (including in Senate) as the primary winner. She won. 2
Since then Murkowski handily won her 2016 election, including with mainstream GOP voters, and isn't up for reelection until 2022. That's a long runway. 3
