No, dems in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Texas go punished more for doing this stunt.

Don't be a coward unless you rebel raising arms against your enemies. Other than that, accept what has already been decided upon by the voting booth. If you think that is flawed, subverted, or doctored then see the part about raising arms again. Again, fleeing your responsibilities like toddlers throwing a temper tantrum is embarrassing/prelude to further being a minority figure.

Don't be a coward unless you rebel raising arms against your enemies.

There is nothing cowardly about using the quorum rules of the legislative body to effectively veto insane legislation.

Such last-ditch measures are almost certain to fail against a Democrat supermajority. So will everything else the opposition may do. However, the Republicans are still playing by "Rule-of-law". We should enjoy it while it lasts.

There will be time enough for raising arms against the State Government at some later date.

You can bet when that starts, that it will be Leftist terrorists doing the first shooting. And their targets will be the handful of Republican legislators remaining in the State. They will be the designated scapegoats when the insane Cap-and-Trade laws ruin the State economy and various factions get denied the swag that they were promised.

I am all for playing by the same rules that the opposition uses - the real ones, not the masquerade ones.
