Gary Peters (MI), could not be bothered to show up for it.

But the regarding attain of it and the blithe method in which the federal authorities surveilled its residents for years are past troubling — one thing you’d suppose that Democrats can be just as involved about as Republicans, notably as the get together not in energy at the second. But…apparently not.
