Heh. I thought it was soooooooooo important to "seat Kirk immediately" so we would have more Republicans to vote against bad Democrats during the lame duck session. The other two Senators who didn't vote are both no longer in the Senate but their term hasn't expired yet -- Dodd is retiring, Brownback is Governor-elect.

What's Kirk's excuse? Had to be in Chicago for a combine meeting?

Very poor performance, Senator, if you can't even bother to show up to convict a corrupt RAT judge, and represent "all of Illinois" by canceling out Dick Durbin's not guilty vote as your constituents would want.

But of course, Mark Kirk doesn't give a damn about the citizens of Illinois, his masters are the mainstream media elites. And unfortunately for Mark Kirk, a NOT GULITY vote for his RAT buddies would be political suicide for him. And since he can't pull an Obama and vote "present", I guess the only way out of his responsibility was to be AWOL during the roll call.

Sad little spectacle. And of course the freepers who supported this commie are no where to be seen.

Could it be (remember, “could” means is it possible, and I don’t know the answer) that he was not present because he was on active duty for his Navy Reserve job? I remember that he had said a couple of weeks ago that he had postponed it but would have to do a certain number of days. This was on a Chicago interview. I’m not making excuses, but I’m just wondering.

Maybe Kirkie was down at the Charlie Crist Happy Bottom Riding Club in Tarpon Springs, Florida...

The BLT: The Blog of LegalTimes ~ Impeachment Trial Starts Minus One Senator

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is recusing himself from the proceedings because he was a member of the House of Representatives in March when that body impeached Porteous on corruption charges. Kirk voted for each of the four articles of impeachment. Then, last month, he won election to the Senate and was sworn in to the upper chamber to serve out the remainder of President Barack Obama’s old Senate term.
