Susan Collins This One Is Different We Won't Forget How You Vote On Kavanaugh

I think one Senator has the ability to put most if not all of his colleagues in his debt,  Jeff Flake could stop the Kavanaugh catastrophe for the Senate and for the Republican Party by voting against him in committee.  If he would do that at the end of his Senate career, who knows.  At this point if the Republicans put him on the Court and Democrats win control of either the House or Senate and they can do the investigation that the Republicans and the Trump regime refuse to allow, they could either force a "Justice" Kavanaugh off of the court or they might be able to force even Republicans to vote to impeach him. 

I'm not certain that I don't actually favor that last scenario because I think it would do maximum damage to the Trump regime, the Republican Party and it is centuries past time that Supreme Court members (not to mention Presidents) realized that they could be removed from office by impeachment.  I think if that became real by having it happen just once it would sober up the least democratic body in the federal government.  

Susan Collins, the Republican I'm most familiar with from long years of watching her MO may have finally realized that her voting to put the Republican brat boy on the court won't be the end of this for her.  His every vote against the rights of Women, Women she has every reason to know, today, that he has no respect for will hang around her neck like a millstone.  His actions on the Supreme Court against the ACA, most obviously to destroy the ban on insurance companies discriminating against those with preexisting conditions will be her actions.  And that's just the beginning of what we know Susan Collins knows as she casts her vote. 

I have no doubt that Collins wants to put Brett Kavanaugh on the court or his perjury and lies and evasions and record would have been enough for a real moderate to have come out against him by now.  I think she was counting on this vote for a Supreme Court member would disappear as an issue for her.  But this one is different and I think she might now realize that.   I think it took the third and fourth accusations against Kavanaugh, accusations her Republican colleagues refuse to investigate as they do the very credible second and first accusations to make her realize she won't be able to just move on from this one.
