Sen. Susan Collins to endorse Farr, judicial nominee with a history of voter suppression: report

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senator Susan Collins (R-Me.) is reportedly set on voting “yes” on the judicial appointment of Thomas Farr, a nominee for U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Farr, President Donald Trump’s nominee, has a history of holding dangerous and discriminatory far-right conservative views — his notorious 1990 voter suppression scheme which targeted 100,000 black voters being but one example.

The report on Collins’ endorsement comes from NBC reporter Frank Thorp, whom she reportedly told that she would be endorsing Farr.

“Btw, in Thomas Farr nomination related news, @SenatorCollins tells @StevenTDennis and me that she will be supporting his nomination,” Thorp tweeted. “With @JeffFlake as a NO (while advocating for Mueller protection bill), and all 49 Ds a NO, it's still currently at 50-50.”

If this is the case, it is possible that Vice President Mike Pence would break the tie in Farr’s favor.

Way to take a measured stand against a bigot that shouldn't even sniff the court Susan

6. There's that. She must know real

patriotic Americans are Sick and Tired of her shit.

[Docreed2003]

13. Yep...no reason to try to hide her positions anymore

[dlk]

7. Collins Isn't Even Bothering to Pretend Any More

She’s gone off the right wing, extremist cliff.

8. Collins would support Vlad the Impaler if Trump nominated him

She is a radical rightist who increasingly does not care who sees her for what she is.

She is acting very much like someone who will not be standing for re-election in two years.

10. This should be a warning against anyone who touts "moderate Republicans"...

...they'll always be only "moderate" in words while supporting the right in deeds -- and it doesn't take them much pressure to flip all the way over into Wingnutlandia.

[DFW]

12. Moderate Republicans are an extinct species.

They died out with Gerry Ford.

14. Donate to the Maine Democratic Party

They need to start to put the campaign infrastructure in place for a challenger to knock her out in 2020

[Bettie]

15. OF course she is

because Susan lives to screw over the people of the US.

If a judge is simply bad, it isn't enough, she wants the absolute bottom of the barrel!

16. Can we please STOP giving ONE-FUCK about Susan Collins??

DU needs to fucking ignore her until the voters in Maine bury her under 40 feet of steel-reinforced concrete and salt the ground over her political grave.

I'm not wasting one more god damned second playing "will she, or won't she" with this waste of human skin.

She's the "Eternal Destroyer of Hope". Caring about what she's going to fucking do is a complete waste of your time.

Like they say, "never try to teach a goat to sing. It's a total waste of your time...and it pisses off the goat".
