Tune in now as Senator Collins explains why Kavanaugh is a progressive champion who will protect the ACA and abortion rights, among other things.
I love how impressed Collins is by Kavanaugh’s assertion that he will “respect prevent,” which is meaningless boilerplate every judicial nominee says
Lol. Now she’s saying Kavanaugh will be just like Souter.

I’ll have what she’s having.
Now she’s citing the ABA’s recommendation. She doesn’t mentioned that they just reopened it.

This is the worst possible justification for Kavanaugh.

It’s all fantasy.
She’s now saying Julie Swetnick’s allegation, which the FBI wasn’t allowed to investigate, is “outlandish.”

Basically the argument here is he MIGHT have sexually assaulted a woman but he’s definitely not a gang rapist so therefore he has my vote.
Collins adopts the Ed Whalen theory, says she believes she was sexually assaulted that night “or some other time” but probably by someone else
After parsing Ford’s testimony to paint her as a likely liar, Collins pivots to a lecture of why it’s important to “believe survivors”
