Collins calls draft Roe opinion 'completely inconsistent' with what Gorsuch and Kavanaugh said during hearings and meetings

GOP Sen. Susan Collins said on Tuesday that a Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade published by Politico was "completely inconsistent" with what Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh "said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office."

I can't believe that any public servant would say whatever it takes to get in the position of power they seek and then not follow through on promises. What an outrage!

Susan Collins is either a liar or the most gullible sack of shit in America.

I always assumed her normal state was elevated. That's the vibe she gives off anyways.

Susan Collins can get lost. I’m over all these so called “moderates” in both parties. They enabled all of this mess. I actually have more respect for Mitch, at least you know where he stands.

"If this leaked draft opinion is the final decision and this reporting is accurate, it would be completely inconsistent with what Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office."

So Alito writes something two months ago and she blames two other guys? Our best and brightest on display

did you consciously try to write the dumbest response ever or did it come naturally?

Susan Collins is either very naïve or very dishonest - I’m going with the latter.

What we do know for certain is she’s Marcel Marceau’s doppelgänger:

Serious question, it’s commonplace to invite and/subpoena executive branch officials to speak with a given congressional committee. Is there some reason they can’t do likewise with SC justices? Beyond simple tradition.

It begs the question, is perjury on the line for Barrett and Kavanaugh? It would be a bold move to impeach a SCJ.

It has never been done successfully, but lawmakers should investigate whether Clarence Thomas’ behavior merits an attempt.

I would assume Congress could. They have oversight on the judges.

The simple answer is Collins needed MAGA to get re-elected so she put her job over principles.

That post is stunningly and incomprehensible dumb. Perhaps the dumbest post in the history of HROT

I don’t think she was ever seriously in jeopardy. Her margin of victory was well outside what polling had suggested was a close race.

If they were called solely to answer for possible perjury, yes. If they were to be questioned about the merits of the decision, no. Sets a horrible precedent.

Why?

both openly testified that Roe was settled precedent. They either lied, or need to explain what made this case so exceptional as to warrant overturning a landmark decision. That doesn’t happen everyday, and previously has often included numerous cases that chipped away at the precedent before overturning it overall. Brown for example, was the pinnacle of a decades long effort to end segregation.

there’s no such trail of cases here. You have Roe, and then Casey. There’s no history of cases that narrowed the definitions involved or anything to parallel most other cases.
