How Lincoln Chafee Justified A Vote He Wasn't Prepared For

Lincoln Chafee asked for some slack on his vote for the repeal of Glass-Steagall because ... 

"I was appointed to office; it was my very first vote. 

"Are you saying you didn't know what you were voting for?" 

"I'd just arrived to Senate." 

Critics of the repeal of Glass-Steagall say it led to the financial collapse of 2008. 

Chafee is right about one thing. He was sworn in on Nov. 4, the same day as the final vote.
