They left Cicero out because of his age.
Brutus however disagrees, arguing that Cicero "will never follow anything" (Line 150). Cassius agrees to leave Cicero out of their conspiracy... The Cicero issue settled, some very important decisions are made.
Cicero's involvement in a conspiracy depends on the specific historical context being referenced. In the context of the Catiline Conspiracy of 63 BCE, Cicero was actually a key figure in exposing and opposing the plot, rather than participating in it. He used his position as consul to reveal the conspiracy and protect the Roman state. Therefore, Cicero would not be part of the conspiracy in this instance.
He wouldn't follow someone else's idea's. -Synthetic.
Cicero went into voluntary exile because Publius Claudius Pulcher, a plebeian tribune he fell out with, introduced a law under which anyone who executed Roman citizens without a trial could be exiled. Cicero had executed the members of the Second Catilinarian Conspiracy which had been aimed against him four years earlier without formal trial. Cicero claimed that the law was directed against him by his political rival and asked the senators to help him. When no help was forthcoming, he left the city voluntarily for his safety.
The conspirators want Cicero to join the conspiracy becasue it will be more convincing once he lures Caesar to see the Senate the day he's assinated.

Cicero.
Brutus does. He says that Cicero will never go with a project he himself did not start.
No because he's black
Brutus doesn't think that Cicero should be part of the conspiracy because Cicero could not stand to be a part of anything unless he had started it himself. Yeah, I've met people like that too.
Cicero was exiled from Rome because he acted illegally in executing the Catalinean conspirators without a trial, which was the right of every Roman citizen. He was consul at the time of the conspiracy, and a consul could be prosecuted for misdeeds in office after he had left office.
Cicero is the senator whom Brutus refuses to ask to join the conspiracy.
It was Lucius Sergius Catilina who led the Second Catilinarian conspiracy.

Brutus thinks that Cicero would not be happy in any movement he did not actually start himself. Basically, he thinks that Cicero has too much of a swollen ego for their purposes.
Brutus doesn't want him in the conspiracy; he says Cicero will never follow anything he doesn't start. It doesn't help Cicero; he dies anyway.
