    I have no votes in Congress to count for Feller, and what Feller has said and done settles only 2 of my principles. I went through it on October 25. A grade needs 4.

Edwin Feller, on the record

I have no votes in Congress to count for Feller, so the grade above comes from this list: what Feller has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
