Susan Collins

But now is not the time to be cutting back services. I do disagree with the President very strongly on that issue. But Postal Service is absolutely essential.

I see there are colleagues and friends on the floor waiting to speak, and I just want to assure them that I will be very rapid. (The remarks of Ms. COLLINS pertaining to the introduction of S. 4155 are printed in today's Record under…

I see that the Senator from Maryland is on the floor, and I think he arrived a minute or two before me, so if he would like to go first, I would want to give him that opportunity.

No - no, they didn't. That's not true. That's not true.

Can I point out that argument about they should go to the courts to resolve this? That actually contradicts what the DOJ has been arguing when they've been saying that they want to get -- they're trying to essentially avoid these subpoenas.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 8:37 p.m., adjourned until Monday, December 23, 2019, at 10 a.m…

I urge my colleagues to take a look at this bipartisan bill. We are overdue to reauthorize the Older Americans Act. This is our opportunity not only to reauthorize it but to make it even better and more responsive to the needs of America's…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kennedy). Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the provisions of S. Res. 390 as further mark of respect for the late Kay Hagan, former Senator from the State of North…

I would thank the Senator for his gracious comments. As always, it has been a great pleasure to work with him, and I know he cares deeply about the constitutional principle that brings us to the floor today. Let us defend the Constitution…

Thank you. (The remarks of Ms. Collins pertaining to the introduction of S. 433 are printed in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')

I urge all of my colleagues to support this bipartisan bill that would ensure geriatric education for our current workforce while it would optimize resources to bolster academic careers in geriatrics and help to attract the best and the…

The Guardianship Accountability Act that Senator Casey and I introduced this morning would further support guardianship reform.

Several States are, however, making significant progress in reforming their guardianship procedures.

I want to thank our witnesses for your contribution to this important discussion about what States are doing to better protect those placed under guardianship arrangements.

Protecting older Americans from financial fraud and exploitation has long been one of my top priorities as Chairman of this Committee.

Many of these recommendations are reflected in legislation that the Ranking Member, Senator Casey, and I have authored, called the 'Guardianship Accountability Act.'

I rise today regarding remarks I made on October 5, 2018, on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. In reference to Justices O'Connor, Souter, and Kennedy, I misspoke and should have said that pro-choice groups opposed two of the nominations…

The process was too rancorous but then she's rewarding the rancor.

To my knowledge, Judge Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court nominee to express the view that precedent is not merely a practice and tradition but rooted in Article 3 of our Constitution itself. He believes that precedent is not just a…

I was proud of her this afternoon. I'm very glad that Brett Kavanaugh will all in likelihood be on the Supreme Court.

As you know, diabetic patients in our system on an annual basis cost about 75 percent more than the general population.

I was appalled by the President's tweet. First of all, we know that allegations of sexual assault -- I'm not saying that's what happened in this case, but we know that allegations of sexual assault are one of the most unreported crimes…

We need to tell people that they were taken in or victims--innocent victims--of a foreign influence campaign.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First let me thank you both for being here and also to express my outrage that your counterpart at Google is not at the table as well.
