If he was elected to be there, then he damn well better be there and vote yes or no! You are there to decide on the right thing to do, not RUN AND HIDE!!!

I agree, Quit hiding and acting like a baby's!!! If the roles were to be switched, the Dems would be saying the samething..... Get back to work people! I would love for them to be dragged back, and made to vote.... But I feel that would add to the fire!

Yes I agreed like maybe make them stand on a corner

holding a sign say they're sorry that they didn't do their job.

Pus keep in mind they we the TAX payer is most definently picking up the TAB for Lodging, Meals & Enterainment EXPENSES dor them to not do their JOB!

They are gutless. They can vote either way, just vote. Punishment would be fire them...fire them all. Don't deserve to be called a representative of the people.

I find it very sad that they cannot be fired for job abandonment, like those that pay their salaries would most likely face for pulling such a stunt.
