Here's the list of 11 who stuck their heads in the sand and pretended like they had "Very Important Business elsewhere". For the record, those Senators are:
Blackburn (R-TN)
Blunt (R-MO)
Braun (R-IN)
Burr (R-NC)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Murray (D-WA)
Risch (R-ID)
Rounds (R-SD)
Shelby (R-AL)
Sinema (D-AZ)
Toomey (R-PA)
As for Murray... She’s generally a respected legislator, from all I’ve heard. A Local paper said she had unspecified family emergency. I don’t know what happened, but she had zero reason to fear voting for this bill. According to this tweet, She would’ve gladly voted for the bill.
