“While Democrats are crying foul after Republican leaders angled to limit disclosures of documents related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s past work, one of the GOP senators whose vote may be pivotal to his confirmation says she’s just fine with it,” Bloomberg reports.

“Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) told reporters Tuesday that she has no objection to a decision late Friday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, to leave out of a federal document request all the paperwork and emails from Kavanaugh’s time as staff secretary to President George W. Bush.”

[WinstonSmith4740]

6. Now there's a surprise.

(Do I really need to dripping sarcasm icon?)

[Solly Mack]

[Doitnow]

8. Typical Rethug.

12. She is no different than the rest of her cabal.....

Why do we keep trying to look to this repuKKKe congresswoman as anything other than a repuKKKe congresswoman. She is spineless, bends over backward for the party over country. Fuck her, and the horse she rode in on. Worthless reich winger with a pink hood.

13. What a shocker huh?

[herding cats]

14. Mmm hmm, she again shows she's not the superhero some people want to think.

She's a deep R through to the bone. Even, and especially, at times when she has room to do the right thing in the eyes of her constituency. She will still toe the line as she's told to do.

[riversedge]

15. Collins has been dead to me for a long time.

[gademocrat7]

16. Take Collins with a grain of salt.

She will tow the party line.

[HuskyOffset]

21. Gentle correction to "tow the line"

The expression is actually “toe the line”.

[Snellius]

23. Good one!

As an annoyingly proper-English nerd (and former proofreader) ,never caught that one. First time I realized that both make sense.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. RubleCon-Трамп Party are hiding something in those documents. Keep pushing, Democrats! . . . nt

[jcgoldie]

18. Wait first Paul and now Collins fall in line ...

OMG what are the odds?!?

[BumRushDaShow]

19. They always do

when the stakes are high for their party.

Flake will also eventually fall in line too.

[Scruffy1]

20. Everytime I hear the press call her a moderate I cringe. N/t.

[Snellius]

22. Collins is the biggest fraud in Congress

She talks the talk (moderate, soft-spoken, compromising), then walks right off the cliff.

[dalton99a]

24. Shocking, as usual

Susan Collins is such a goddamn fraud
