“At this point, I do not see the extraordinary circumstances that I view as a standard to determine whether to filibuster a nominee,” Collins told reporters after meeting with Kagan in her office. “Keep in mind that we have not yet had the judiciary hearings, it’s possible that something new will come out, but at this point, I do not see any grounds for a filibuster.”
