Wikipedia: District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court ruling that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, unconnected with service in a militia, for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that the District of Columbia's handgun ban and requirement that lawfully owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee.
It also stated that the right to bear arms is not unlimited and that guns and gun ownership would continue to be regulated. It was the first Supreme Court case to decide whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense or if the right was intended for state militias.

They are not going to explain why the nominee is not qualified, in fact they are prolly going to say something like, "Although XXXX is highly qualified, I cannot in good conscience vote in favor of the nominee in an election year".

Leaving the court in a disastrous 4-4 split.

I'm sure that flake Mittens will join the revolt.
It is really smart for Trump to pick a female and a mommy. Because the Libs have to play identity politics, she is automatically protected from most of the garbage that would be thrown at a man.
I even heard last night on the Judge Jeanine show that they are considering a Florida gal whose parents came over from Cuba. That punches all the right boxes, female and minority. That gal would just about be untouchable according to Liberal thinking.

McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010), is a landmark[1] decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that found that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms," as protected under the Second Amendment, is incorporated by either the Due Process Clause or Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and is thereby enforceable against the states. The decision cleared up the uncertainty left in the wake of District of Columbia v. Heller as to the scope of gun rights in regard to the states.

This. Make Collins and the rest vote against a woman, or merely respond present to the roll call which would be tantamount to a no.

It's already started; there were a 100 "protestors" at McConnell's house in Kentucky last night. You have to give this to the anarchist's; they are proactive.

Think this sums it up.

Likely but not a sure thing when the election becomes contested as it most certainly will be.

Get the SCOTUS position filled now............a bird in the hand thought process.

No praises for collins at all but she did come through at the last hour on Kavanaugh. She just wanted everyone to point the cameras at her.

Could be playing the same game, to let her own 50% welfarite constituency in maine know who she is.

Apparently Graham has a set on this issue, but his are covered in his boyfriends poop.

I think they will cave. They're all high and mighty now. Put a candidate in front of them and make them vote no because of timing when the person in front of them is fully qualified. I think instead of your quote above, they will break down and say something like "although I don't agree with the timing of these proceedings, this candidate is nominated and fully qualified..." Once the nominee is on the Senate floor, their issues with the timing are moot.

I predict Rand Paul will be the one of pee on the campfire. Hope I’m wrong.

The democrates have 47, and the republicans have 53

If Collins, Murkowski and Romney all refuse to vote yes and are afraid to vote no, so they vote "Present", it's still 50 to 47.

Is that not a win ?

Even if they all vote no, it's 50/50 and the V.P. breaks the tie, 51 to 50, we win.

george "magog bush is a liberal democrat warmonger. Bill Clinton who I detested was 1000 times more conservative. gw bush voted for hillary clinton so the left won again when bush was installed in the white house

means nothing. the states do what they want and ban mags semi autos buying ammo thru the mail background check for ammo etc. another "win" for the right

I haven't seen much evidence that Collins has an IQ above 25.

Ever LISTEN to her talk ?

Collins sounds like she went non compos mentis with the Alzheimers about 3 years ago.

Am I the ONLY one who sees the "Heller" decision for the horrible crap that it is??? With their emphasis on "in the home"... and that continued regulation was just fine and dandy?

Abstaining, if Collins does, is the same as NO.

Murkowski had no problem doing a kill shot right out of the box.
