So apparently 9 of them (not sure which) just took off. Toomey was one of the 2 who voted in attendance but did not vote on the Commission. Unsure yet who the other is. Update 3: Toomey releasing a statement that he missed the vote due to a "family commitment" but would have voted in favor of the Commission. Party split: Dem + I: 48-0-2 GOP: 6-35-9 Convinced Cassidy might be the smartest of the GOP Senators because he released a statement explaining his yes vote saying that if they kill this commission (where dems caved and gave them everything they wanted) it'll be the Democrats who get to set the narrative. And I mean, the road here is almost assuredly Pelosi setting up a Select Committee for this which because the House is majority dem would be dem controlled. "Curious" what Manchin's reaction to this is now that we have seen there aren't "10 good people" but I'm not holding my breath. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
