Sen. Collins Flooded with Abusive Tweets Threatening Death, Violence — Twitter Does Nothing 6 Oct 2018
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) faced a torrent of death threats and abuse on Twitter following her declaration that she would vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, and her remarks in defense of the presumption of innocence. So far, Twitter has taken no action, allowing the threats against a sitting Senator to remain on the platform. .......................................

Lindsey Graham: Susan Collins ‘Saved the Senate and the Judiciary from Sliding into the Abyss’ 5 Oct 2018
Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) applauded his Republican colleague Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) for her speech outlining why she was going to vote in the affirmative for Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Graham’s called Collins’ speech “historic” and credited her with thwarting the deterioration of the U.S. Senate and the country’s judiciary.
“It’s historic. It changed the trajectory of where we’re headed in the Senate in terms of confirming judges. She adopted the rule of law, rejected the rule of the mob. And if I had to tell somebody a good reason to vote for Judge Kavanaugh, I would ask them to look at Susan’s speech. It was incredible in detail, forcefully delivered. She didn’t look like she was pained. She hated what happened to the process, but she was confident that Judge Kavanaugh was the right guy at the right time. So, I think she saved the Senate and the judiciary from sliding into the abyss.
