The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in Wolford v.

Republican Senator, 73, Busted Making Crucial SCOTUS Math Error
Tom Williams / CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagA veteran Republican official just bungled the numbers on a key issue her opponent has weaponized against her in the battle for her seat in the November midterms. Maine Senator Susan Collins, 73, has come under fire from Democratic hopeful Graham Platner, 41, for casting the deciding vote to confirm conservative SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. Kavanaugh later voted in favor of the Supreme Court’s controversial 2022 Dobbs decision to overturn abortion rights under Roe v. Wade. Collins, arguably the closest thing the Senate Republican caucus has to a moderate holdout, tried to defend her backing for Kavanaugh during a Fox appearance on Monday. “Let me be clear that I disagreed with the Supreme Court’s 6-to-3 decision overturning Roe v. Wade,” she said. “But the fact is that whether Justice Kavanaugh were confirmed or not, Roe v. Wade would have been overturned, given the 6-to-3 vote.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
