She's my senator. I don't have a problem with this. If hers had been the 60th vote, that would obviously be very different.

It's a good thing they weren't Capitol Police and just decided that they didn't have to do their job on Jan. 6th.
I guess they are so used to doing nothing, they couldn't face the prospect of actually making a decision. Why have they been elected?
Oh well, I guess now they have a long weekend to get back to raising campaign funds.
