No rush now? Unlike last time, when they insisted on ramming through the confirmation of Barrett in order to get it under the wire before the election — the exact opposite of the previous opening when they refused to even hold hearings for 9 months because it was supposedly too close to the election. Collins went along with both of those radically unethical decisions and she voted for both of the right wing judges McConnell foisted on the country.
She is playing a cynical game. She knows very well that the Democrats are very concerned that one of the ancient mariners in the caucus is going to shuffle off their mortal coil and leave the Senate in McConnell’s hands. She is clearly hoping that will happen.
Susan Collins needs to shut up. Biden and Schumer can move at whatever pace they choose and her opinions are completely irrelevant.
