Sen. Susan Collins: Opposed Obamas Amnesty Before Voting For It
Published:
Mon, Dec 22nd 2014 @ 9:26 am EST
Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) voted to fund President Obama's executive amnesty during the lame-duck session contrary to her earlier statements. She was one of several Senators who had come out against the president's actions, but then voted much differently.
These Senators, including Senator Collins had an opportunity to back up their rhetoric with action when Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) raised a "point of order" challenging the constitutionality of the president's executive action while the Senate debated the 2015 spending bill.
While 21 other Senators stood up and voted with Senator Cruz, 28 Senators who had previously come out against executive amnesty voted in favor of fully funding it.
After the president announced his plan for executive amnesty, Senator Collins released the following statement:
"The President has said previously that the best way to address this problem is legislatively and that he does not have the authority to act unilaterally. His actions are contradicting his previous statements. … I am extremely concerned that President Obama’s excessive use of executive orders to circumvent Congress is undermining our constitutional separation of powers doctrine. His unilateral action on such a significant issue is contrary to how our constitutional system is supposed to work."
For a full list of U.S. Senators who voted for and against the Senator Cruz's point of order, see the roll call vote.

There was a time that I had a mild admiration for Sen. Collins. Now total faith in any and all republicans has been dashed upon the cliff's rocks from the sea of republican mishaps. That party has to be exiled.

It's a little surprising to me that you once "had a mild admiration for Sen. Collins" because to my knowledge she has pretty much always supported amnesty for illegal immigrants. Sorry to hear you have no faith in folks like Sen. Sessions, Sen. Lee, Sen. Vitters, etc., etc. Yep, they are all Republicans. It's the RINOs I don't support ....... and not all Republicans are RINO's ....... but all RINOs seem to support illegal alien amnesty. IMO, we would be better served to direct our anger directly at our enemies without including the folks that support our position on the illegal immigrant and border security issue.
