I will never forget that 43 minute, serpentine speech Susan Collins delivered to justify her reasons she would not be voting for Kavanaugh. There were over 100 of us standing on a downtown Portland, Maine street near her office listening together as the loudspeaker droned on with her rambling justifications. Prior to that, so many of us visited her office frequently and wrote letters begging her to not vote for confirmation. She simply does not show up to discuss issues or listen to her constituents unless she can benefit politically. Sadly, when our esteemed Republican Senator Olympia Snowe resigned in 2013, Susan Collins totally shed any semblance of character, and showed her true colors. Mike Brock, you nailed it with this description. Susan Collins is no Margaret Chase Smith (nor Olympia Snowe).

Wow! You dissected the eternal senator from Maine with incisive precision and a verbal tour de force!
