So that makes it ok? Some hypothetical should that make this situation alright? These are grown damn adults and they should behave like they would in a work place situation, not children.
They could have just rescheduled the vote to another day, because people were out honoring our fallen Americans today. These decisions affect all of us in NC. This affects our teachers, our healthcare.
Well I don't really see how relevant our local Democrat only reps are to 9/11. Say your morning prayer and be done with it and back to work, no need to grandstand.

The only thing that isn't ok about this is the deception of the republicans.
A little common sense and logical thinking would lead any rational person to conclude that the republicans set this up. After all these weeks, why would the democrats suddenly decide to not show up? That simply defies logic.
