Conservatives regularly "dissent" when it doesn't affect the outcome. See our wonderful Susan Collins

True - but it applies to both parties.

Do you have examples?

I don't recall the exact bills off the top of my head, but I know Lisa Murkowski has voted against bills with the GOP when they're in the minority after having vocally supported those same bills prior.

I do remember that it was a gun control bill and that she likely did it to protect her NRA rating, which was an "A" at the time. She was later downgraded to a "B" last year after voting to end a GOP filibuster that was blocking its passage through the Senate.

Sorry I don't remember anything more specific at the moment :(. FWIW, I don't think it's an uncommon practice.

So your counter example of a Republican voting another way when it doesn't impact the results is another Republican voting another way when it doesn't impact the results? If you're going to pretend "both sides are the same" you should come up with examples other than Republicans.

I didn't realize Susan Collins was a Supreme Court justice!
