I am confident that we will do a good job, i do think it would help if we brought in an experienced former prosecutor or an experienced investigator, and I have made that recommendation to both the chairman and the vice chairman.

I never said there shouldn't be an investigation. by Susan Collins

I never said there shouldn't be an investigation.

The Alabama law is a terrible law — The Alabama law's very extreme — The Alabama law essentially bans all abortions. I can't imagine that any justice could find that to be consistent with the previous precedents.

I obviously don't know what the conversation entailed, nor do I know whether Kim Jong Un came up with specific evidence to support that statement, i personally find that statement extremely hard to believe.

Hypothetically, I would hope that we would hear the truth from Michael Cohen, and that Michael Cohen would be asked the same questions Michael Cohen was asked the last time to see what the answers are this time.

If its a clean disapproval resolution, I will support it. by Susan Collins

If its a clean disapproval resolution, I will support it.

I don't believe that shutdowns are ever justified -- and I wish this never happened, this caused real harm to federal employees... and to our economy at large.

PELOSI, SCHUMER MOCKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH ANGRY PARENTS MEMES AFTER THEIR PRIME TIME TRUMP REBUTTAL Sources tell Fox News that Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardnerremains worried about whether an extended shutdown and dysfunction in Washington could hurt the U.S.s credit rating, which is based on factors that include politics, monetary policy, economic indicators, and externalities. The county last lost its top-notch credit status in 2011 after Standard and Poors lowered it from AAA to AA +, amid a showdown over the debt ceiling. Gardner, a first-term senator, is up for re-election in 2020, and The Colorado Sun has said his seat is among the most vulnerable in Senate Minority. A poll conducted late last yearfound that Gardners favorability rating hovers near 43 percent. Hillary Clinton bested Trump by five percentage points during the 2016 presidential race in Colorado. Another Republican senator facing a tough re-election bid in 2020 in a state that went for Clinton in 2016, Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins, said Wednesday that Susan Collins had asked Trump at lunch to consider a compromise to end the shutdown. IN FIRST-EVER PRIME TIME OVAL OFFICE ADDRESS, TRUMP OFFERS COMPROMISE, LAMENTS BORDER CRISIS I suggested that we take a look at the package that we put together last February and brought to the floor as a possible compromise.

Boy, we can't have government shut down. It's never good, how man... by Susan Collins

Boy, we can't have government shut down. It's never good, how many times do we have to learn that ?

We have to get all the facts and I'm going to wait until Mr. Mueller concludes his investigation. I've not reviewed the filings that you've referred to, i don't know that it changes things much.

Yet let me hasten to add I am very distressed to learn that she herself has been a victim of one of these pipe bombs. I just think everybody needs to step back and reassess their rhetoric and urge people to remember that we are all Americans, that we should be working together, and that there is no excuse for such rhetoric, i believe all of us in public life need to model better behavior.

Too often nowadays people tune into networks that just reinforce what they already think rather than broadening their exposure to alternative viewpoints, we seem to have lost not only a sense of comity but also community in this country, which is very troubling, and we somehow have to restore civil debate.

Their vision of a more perfect union does not exist today, and if anything, we appear to be moving farther away from it.

I found Dr. Ford's testimony to be heart-wrenching, painful, compelling, and I believe that Susan Collins believes what Susan Collins testified to, but we also had a case where Judge Kavanaugh came forward and said,' I'm 100 percent certain that this did not happen,' so here you have two people who are each 100 percent certain of what they're saying under pain of perjury. So then I had to look at the other evidence, and was there corroborating evidence, and that's why I pushed hard for the FBI to do a supplemental background investigation.

Some of the allegations levied against Judge Kavanaugh illustrate why the presumption of innocence is so important, i am thinking in particular not of the allegations raised by Professor Blasey Ford, but of the allegation that, when Blasey Ford was Blasey Ford, Judge Kavanaugh drugged multiple girls and used their weakened state to facilitate gang rape.

My fervent hope is that Judge Kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in The Supreme Court so we have far fewer 5-4 decisions and so that public confidence in our judiciary and our highest court is restored.

It appears to be a very thorough investigation. by Susan Collins

It appears to be a very thorough investigation.

Obviously I take it seriously and believe that it should be investigated by Judiciary Committee, my understanding is the committee's investigators have already made a request.

I'm pleased that the committee mark up for this week has been canceled and there will be a public hearing and both Mark Judge Judge Kavanaugh and Professor Ford will be testifying under oath, in a public hearing, next Monday. It's exactly the outcome I'm hoped for and advocated for.
