Wicker Is Already Missing Votes (Including a Vote To Request Absent Senator's Attendance)

So, Wicker has missed a couple of votes already. One was on invoking cloture to move forward with the stimulus package and tax rebates which I think is important to Mississippians. The other was a vote to require attendance of Senators. It's funny that he missed the vote to instruct the attendance of absent Senators so soon after becoming a Senator. Senator Cochran voted for the bill.
