She may as well have. Democrats were stupid for indulging her for so many years when she was clearly not a moderate.
Yep, the pro-gay, pro-choice Republican that defeated numerous Obamacare repeal attempts is not a moderate because she's not voting the way you personally want. Cry me an Inksing river.
With that in mind, I think this was actually her reaffirming that she's not done. All the talk of civility gives her an alibi to stay on.
If Collins is pro-choice, why does she vote for literally every single Federalist Society justice when every FS justice wants to overturn Roe v. Wade?
