I've sat in and watched more than a couple Senate and Congressional hearings, and the committee members are getting up and walking around, going to their own appointments All. The. Time. Usually they let the folks know ahead of time that they have to be somewhere else, at other times they get called out. Without hearing a statement from them or from the chairman of the commission about any reason for a "walkout," I'm going to assume it wasn't politically motivated.
Also, can we please stop spelling Bob Kerrey's last name wrong?
