lilfluffGiffords returns to House for debt vote
Gabrielle Giffords missed seven months of work after being shot in the head in a failed assassination attempt (sadly six others did die), but she made it in to give her vote on the debt bill. I am not from Giffords' district, but as and Arizonan I like what I've heard about her.
I find myself wanting a rule that says that members of Congress must inform their constituents of any votes they missed along with the reason for which they missed it. I suspect most of the reasons would fall well short of, "I was undertaking physical rehabilitation after surviving a gunshot to the head." I'll cut off anything else I have to say here before I ruin the moment with ranting about both parties.
