So would I. That said, I wouldn’t vote against a guy because he opted to go to his father-in-law’s funeral and miss votes that don’t impact what is passed.
I don’t see conspiracy here.
I don’t buy that as an excuse for not going on the record to vote for or against an amendment to $2 Trillion legislation. As least have the minority leader and majority leader agree to a unanimous consent to cast your YES vote and force the VP to cast HER vote.
