I've been a long time involuntary Susan Collins watcher and with her absurd reaction to the revelations about Brett Kavanaugh's sleazy prep-school years including his yearbook "devils triangle" allusion to exactly the kind of scenario that Christine Blasey Ford's accusation of him attempting to rape her shows that she's looking for every excuse she can think up to vote to put Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.
Her ridiculous idea of having the lawyers for Ms. Ford and Kavanaugh cross examine them is a sure sign of her grasping at straws to vote for him. I don't know if she endorsed the as ridiculous idea of having female staffers for the all-male Republican inquisitors question her to avoid the awful scenario of the likes of the sleazy old men like Grassley and Hatch and Graham lying about and vilifying her but it's clear that the Republicans are trying to mount a hit job as a Judiciary hearing on her.
As some have pointed out if Christine Blasey Ford wanted to lie up an accusation against Kavanaugh she is unlikely to have placed a third person in the room who might side with the guy she's accusing - THAT SHE PUT A FRIEND OF KAVANAUGH IN THE ROOM IS STRONG EVIDENCE THAT SHE ISN'T LYING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. When you put that together with the fact that she is the only one of the three willing to risk talking to the FBI over this convinces me that she is telling exactly the truth, that Brett Kavanaugh not only tried to rape her with the collusion of his party-boy friend but that he added lies about that to his known perjury and that the Republicans, including Collins and likely Murkowski are trying to find some way to vote to put him on the court all of that sleaze and criminality.
Susan Collins is setting herself up to be some kind of martyr to principle, it's a pantomime that she's well experienced in. To me it's obvious as a long time Collins watcher.
