Sounds to me like skipping the vote was exactly the right thing to do.

Someone else castigated him. I said he was abdicating responsibility.
If a sufficient number of senators on the relevant committee and on the floor want to bring a Tina Fey, Hot or Not vote to the floor, they should be able to.
When did you become Atticus, the uber-senator who decides what's appropriate for Senate business. And why is the FMA not at least appropriate for consideration? It's not as if there's a consensus that gay marriage is an unimportant issue for politicians to be dealing with.
