The framework focuses on the 2 choices congressmen have when voting, 1. abstain 2. vote. It says that abstention is bad for democracy. The framework limits the the topic to only that that is topical through Kramer.

A is framing:
American Heritage defines ‘a’ as “used before nouns and noun phrases that denote a single but unspecified person or thing.”

B is Evaluation:
Understanding our own identity is key to understanding our ethical being and responsibility.
Judith Butler Professor of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature at University of California at Berkeley, Giving an Account of Oneself, New York: Fordham University Press (2005), p. 135-136
"the response to...responsibility."
our identity is formed through our expression and interaction in communal settings. Community is both the foundation for relational identity and the source of moral obligation in the first place.
Helen Haste, PhD of Psychology at the University of Bath, “Communitarianism and the Social Construction of Morality”, 1998.
"We become... Cultural context"
And, individual identity can never be conceived of without communal relations. The liberal self is absent of value and without constitution. Walzer:

"The individual... Narrative Capacity"
the standard is consistency with the community will.
Government power is derived from the communication of its constituents. Flynn:
Communicative Power in Habermas’s Theory of Democracy, Jeffrey Flynn, Middlebury College, Vermont, European Journal of Political Theory
"all political... communicative power"
