I am in my 90s and have seen women for all these years battling for their rights. It is of grave concern to me that this struggle will be ongoing and negative if Judge Brett Kavanaugh is appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Another great concern is the threat to our separation of church and state, as seen in two recent votes by the conservative court (Colorado baker and Islam visitors). Here in Maine, a father has sued our state to have his daughter’s tuition paid for with public funds for her parochial school education.

Why the rush on Kavanaugh? I remember the rush to confirm Justice Clarence Thomas before his passion for pornography was exposed.

Another question. Did Kavanaugh lie? We certainly don’t want a justice whose testimony is questionable.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins’ vote is critical. By voting against Kavanaugh, she can protect our individual rights and Constitution for years to come.
