THEIR COLLEAGUES JUST SPENT A MONTH BACK IN THEIR DISTRICTS...:

Senate Democrats Push Back Climate Measure Schedule (Daniel Whitten, 9/31/09, Bloomberg)

The chief Senate sponsors of a bill aimed at curbing global warming have pushed back its introduction from next week until later in September. [...]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said in July that he wanted the committees with jurisdiction over the measure to complete their work by Sept. 28. Boxer, the chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, said earlier this month that she would introduce her plan next week so it could be approved by the committee before the end of September.

...they aren't about to lap up that dog's breakfast.
