I've asked this question several times on FR, and have yet to get any sort of answer at all, so I'll ask you, PhiKapMom: Why did Tom Coburn abstain from voting on the Cornyn Amendment?
Again.
The only thing I've found is that a staffer claimed Coburn had a speaking engagement. A speaking engagement. More important than defeating this bill? More important than voting yea on Cornyn's amendment, which would have removed convicted felons from consideration for this de facto amnesty? I admired Tom Coburn enough to have mentioned his name several times, as a potential presidential candidate. But, this lapse disturbs me greatly.
