Collins helped confirm federal judges who run counter to Maine values

Collins voted to approve nominees who held viewpoints that ran counter to the human and civil rights Mainers hold dear. As the Alliance for Justice Action Campaign has catalogued, these judges had demonstrated their willingness to overturn the Affordable Care Act, limit access to abortion, block LGBTQ protections, lift the safeguards that attempt to ensure we all have access to clean air and water, undermine worker safety and compensation and disenfranchise voters.

Essential health care coverage for millions of people, including those with preexisting conditions, hangs in the balance. Whether they answer the question or not, no entity is more responsible for this potential catastrophe than the Republican-led Senate.

‘To their own peril’: 2020 Democrats sidestep fight for Supreme Court

Dan Goldberg, legal director for the Alliance for Justice Action Campaign, pushed back, saying liberal voters are galvanized like never before on the issue of judicial nominations. A poll conducted for Alliance for Justice Action Campaign and other groups last June revealed 43% of likely 2020 voters said a Supreme Court appointment is a reason to back a Democratic nominee, while only 35% said it is a reason to vote for Mr. Trump. “Both polling and on the ground experience demonstrates that progressive voters are galvanized like never before on the issue of courts. You saw this during Kavanaugh,” he said.
