| 1. Amazing. But I'm wondering why he didn't vote on FISA. |

| 3. The Reps were going to filibuster this so they needed the votes to make it |
|
filibuster-proof.
His vote wouldn't have made a difference to FISA -- it did in this case

| 8. I agree with your statement but it wouldn't have changed the outcome today. |

That's all I'm saying.
EDIT: And I think that history will look gently on his absence today considering the brain cancer, brain surgery and chemotherapy.

| 7. It's a big enough issue that, since he was there today anyway, I would have expected |
|
him to register his vote.
It's amazing that he had to grit to make it there at all, but I'm just wondering about this.

| 9. I'm sure he would have been there for FISA if he'd been able. |
|
Earlier today they weren't even sure he could make it for the Medicare vote.
Chemo is debilitating.

| 10. I know. The welcome he received was very moving. I don't know where he gets his strength. |
