Collins has probably never cost the GOP leadership a single battle from her vote, and probably never will.

Maybe. But by consistently needing to appear moderate, she denies that of others who might need to appear that way too. So it still matters.

And with that, we have marked an unfortunate moment in Senate History. This is the first time in literally forever that a judicial nominee has been confirmed over the objections of BOTH of their Home State Senators. (Miller is from WA)

I don't personally consider that scenario unfortunate. The blue slip custom is stupid.
