Time to Call Collins

Snowe has made her opposition to the "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster well known, and so have other moderates like John McCain. Susan Collins, however, is still on the fence. Wampum has a bit about each of the contested judicial nominees with links to more information. Here are a couple examples:

Thomas B. Griffith -- has no courtroom experience and practiced law (1998-1999 Impeachment Trial of President Clinton) without a license and practiced law (in-house counsel for Brigham Young University) without a license,

Janice Rogers Brown -- does not believe in the incorporation doctrine (goodbye US Bill of Rights in State courts), and favors a return the Lochner era jurisprudence of substantive due process (goodbye worker protection laws that "violated the right of free contract"),

William H. Pryor, Jr. -- does not believe in (or obey) campaign financial disclosure laws and does not believe the Americans with Disabilities Act is Constutional

Read the whole list here and do something about it.
