It is rather instructive, & frankly outrageous, that 2 folks like

members who are/will vote against the popular will of the voters they purportedly represent. Maybe media commentators and journalists ire and questions should be focused on those Dem Senators ignoring their constituents wishes rather than the politician trying to fulfill them...
