Collins suppports another bad judge

Maine Beacon- In a confirmation decided along party lines, Senator Susan Collins voted to appoint 37-year-old Allison Jones Rushing to a lifetime seat on the Fourth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, despite Senate Democrats raising concern over her past arguments against marriage equality as well as her affiliation with a Christian group accused of promoting homophobic and transphobic policies. The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday 53-44 to seat Rushing, who will now be the youngest jurist in the federal court system.
