Over the last 16 years, I've learned to accept that this government has no interest or concern in protecting the rights of American citizens, only it's core group of supporters. Unrecorded votes are those members ways of protecting their collective asses. They can sit on capitol hill and write, vote on, and pass any law they want to. It eventually will not matter. Sooner or later, the people of this country will have had enough.
