“Repubs need to either start passing stuff they CAN pass, or be seen as simply posturing.”

True. Right to work would be funny.

Maybe a bill making it a 20 year in jail felony to flee the state to avoid the quorum.

They can pass a Senate rules change with 2/3 of members present, with just majority quorum. Make it a Senate rule that a member fleeing a quorum call forfeits $5,000 per day, taken out of his pay.
