On October 5, 2018 Senator Susan Collins, a faithful handmaid to the starched white male Republican Senate leadership and flanked by two faithful Senate handmaids (seated, for this occasion only, in the chairs normally occupied by that leadership), delivered, with one rambling speech, a resounding smack to the future of public respect and legitimacy for the United States Supreme Court.
What happened when these women finally had some power?
They put on their handmaid hats and returned it to their menfolk!
