Sen. Susan Collins is opposing President Donald Trump’s nominee to the second most powerful court in the country.
In a statement, the Maine Republican cited comments Justin Walker made at his investiture as a district judge, in which he addressed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s critics. In his remarks, Walker vowed to “not surrender while you wage war on our work.” Walker clerked for Kavanaugh when the justice was on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C Circuit.
“While Judge Walker is entitled to hold whatever personal views he chooses, his ideological comments on the very day he was formally installed as a federal judge … prevent me from supporting his elevation to the second highest court in the land,” Collins said.
