Conspicuously absent will be Senator-elect Mark Kirk, the Republican victor of Illinois' simultaneous special and general election. As we reported last week, Kirk conveniently won't be seated for several weeks due to "paperwork" holdups in Illinois.
No Senate votes are scheduled for today or tomorrow, although the GOP caucus will hold a private vote on Sen. Jim DeMint's proposed earmark moratorium tomorrow.
