Dear Editor:

Susan Collins touts herself as a committed savior of those seeking to hold onto their Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) benefits and women’s reproductive rights. She actually used her power to do just the opposite. Don’t take my word for it though; look at her voting record.

Collins has installed more than 100 Trump judges on the bench, including every single Trump nominee in 2017 and 2018.  These judges, many seated for life, will alter American life for decades to come.

Just to name two, Collins voted to give a lifetime appointment in their current positions to:

• Amy Coney Barrett (current SCOTUS nominee), despite significant evidence of her opposition to Roe v Wade and her support for overturning Obamacare. She favors eliminating healthcare coverage for millions of citizens in Maine and across the country with pre-existing conditions.

• L. Steven Grasz, who received an unanimous rating of “Not Qualified”  from the independent and nonpartisan American Bar Association. He defended Arkansas’ attempt to deny Medicaid funding to women seeking abortions as a result of rape.

With the recent statement that the SCOTUS nominee vote should be postponed until after the election, Senator Collins hopes to camouflage her record.  Please let her know on Nov. 3 that Mainers are smarter than that.
