Supreme Court, impeachment, Jan. 6 committee: How Sen. Susan Collins has bucked the GOP
- Collins was one of seven senators to vote guilty in Trump’s second impeachment trial.
- Collins backed a bipartisan group similar to the 9/11 commission to study the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
- Collins has voted for six Supreme Court nominees, but voted against Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Sen. Susan Collins is going rogue – again.
The GOP senator on Wednesday said she would back the historic nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, breaking with her party and delivering a bipartisan victory to President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine, has shown an independent streak and a willingness to work across the aisle on some of the most closely watched votes in the divided Senate.
