Senator Collins is waning on about interest groups against Kavanaugh but IGNORES dark money interest groups in support of Kavanaugh.

Senator Collins references Kavanaugh’s judicial record. She disagrees w notion he will eliminate ACA protections, pointing to his dissent in Holder. She argues that his views on severability is narrow.

She addresses the concern about Kavanaugh protecting the POTUS. She argues that Kavanaugh defers to legislative authority. She argues Clinton got 2 justices confirmed while under Whitewater investigation and 3 Nixon appointees ruled against Nixon ruled against Nixon.

She references Kavanaugh’s reliance upon cases which sustain judicial authority and judicial checks to executive branch authority.

She argues that Kavanaugh considers the same sex marriage precedent to be “an important landmark opinion.” (This can mean ANYTHING!)
