Voting your conscience­—what a novel idea

Maine senator stood up and voted her conscience; something not seen much these days.

They just can’t let it go. The anti-Kavanaugh left continues to rant weeks after the senate’s vote to confirm the newest Supreme Court justice. Unfortunately for the naysayers, Justice Brett Kavanaugh has joined his fellow justices  on the court, making decisions and hearing testimony each day. Yet the attacks continue.
    And it’s not only attacks against the new justice, who was accused of a sexual assault that allegedly happened 36 years earlier. The accuser could produce no corroborating evidence that it did occur, including where it happened, when it happened or how she returned home that night. Even her best friend, under oath, said she had no recollection of the alleged incident. In the end, the “evidence” that wasn’t there was crucial in the decision-making for at least one senator from Maine.
    However, as protests continue against the new justice himself, those who supported Kavanaugh in the final vote, pushing his nomination over the top, continue to be harassed, too.
    Maine’s Sen. Susan Collins, following the immediate attacks calling her anti-woman and unsupportive of women who have been assaulted, continues to be harassed. The latest?
