This person giving a long speech about how sure she is that Roe and precedent are safe is the same person who was sure she got an amazing ACA fix for a huge tax cut for the super-rich.
How’s that working out for you, @SenatorCollins!

2/ @Dahlialithwick and I addressed Kavanaugh and Roe here. @SenatorCollins did not mention these remarkably clear speeches and decisions, which strongly signal the opposite. slate.com/news-and-polit…
3/ And Kavanaugh’s opinions signal a dismissiveness of precedent (Humphrey’s Executor 9-0, Morrison v Olson 7-1) in his support for dramatically expanding presidential power: slate.com/news-and-polit…
4/ On the one hand, Collins is right that the leaker acted unconscionably.
On the other, Collins’s one-sided partisan speech at this moment doesn’t give her much of a leg to stand on.

5/ Collins complained about Democrats, but she never addressed Kavanaugh’s temperament in his “what goes around comes around” threat. She was never on the fence. She has the same partisan blinders that she condemns on the other side.
