I did not hear about the basis of the ACB vote. I will admit, living in the upper northeast, Collins caught a lot of grief for the Kavanaugh vote. My assumption is that she had to gain votes in a losing proposition. Individuals from Maine love to vote for unique personalities, especially Independents. For whatever reason, the Maine constituency did not like the Kavanaugh vote, and it will cost her.

Funny thing about politics. Shouldn't we vote based on what our constituency desires? Trouble is, politicians do not get the time to adequately ask the public as to what they desire. Collins is a good person.
