Lawyers Critique Susan Collins Record Ahead of Maine Election
Attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks published a critique of Senator Susan Collins' judicial voting record and her role in confirming Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Founding partners of Katz Banks Kumin LLP, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, published a critique of Susan Collins regarding her voting record and her role in the 2018 confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The attorneys argue that the senator prioritized political loyalty to Donald Trump over the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
Katz and Banks contend that Collins' self-characterization as a moderate is contradicted by her support for 52 of 55 judicial nominees appointed during Donald Trump's second term. They specifically highlight her support for judges who opposed reproductive rights and marriage equality.
The authors assert that these actions directly led to the appointment of Justice Kavanaugh and the subsequent overturning of Roe v. Wade. They urge voters in Maine to consider this judicial record during the upcoming November election.
