Don’t show up, don’t get to vote. Sounds fair to me.

The scary thing about this is that to understand it requires common sense. The republicans in congress appear to be temporarily using common sense. How long will that last? Congressional republicans don’t have a huge love affair with common sense. They are often completely estranged from it.

But... let’s see how long the current situation will hold.

bad things happen when you don't show up to vote.

As one who routinely says terrible things about the Senate and those in it I would like to say - Bravo - Well Done Senators!

I don’t know how long it will last, but let’s just count our blessings as they come.
