Aside from Johnson who is in the hospital I believe the rest who chose not to have some explaining to do. I hope their constituents force them to account for their poor job performance.
Have you noticed that not one Democrat is out their stumping to get rid of the filibuster because they aren't getting their way?
Let's hope it stays that way. Everyone of those who previously advocated for the revocation of the filibuster deserve to be held account as well. Next time a vote like this comes there will be more than 7 Republicans who don't have Bush's back.
