One can only assume that Sen. Susan Collins is thinking about her legacy. And when her instincts and research proved incorrect, offered only an “oopsy-daisy” amounting to the explanation that Kavanaugh misled her. The parallels between this moment and the confirmation vote of Kavanaugh that would eventually lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade are hard, in my mind, to overlook. Again, it is an attempt to rationalize, research and justify one’s way to a logistical response for a deeply moral issue. We cannot afford another one of Sen. Collins’ moral “oopsy-daisies.” To quote Nina Turner, “SpongeBob SquarePants is older than ICE.” We do not and have not ever needed ICE to keep our country safe.
