Part of me wants them to stay in session, not be able to get out and campaign and, more important, denies Obama the possibility of recess appts. Let them stay and chant like a bunch of adolescent Occupiers.

My dream is for Congress to meet for the express purpose of removing existing laws that are not beneficial from the books. In the meantime, at least the sit-in guarantees they won’t be passing any new laws, a good thing in my book.

“Nah...Just let them sit there...Adjourn, leave and lock them in...No food, no water, no nothing...

Let ‘em sweat....”

I like this solution. If Republicans would only have the guts to do it.

OK, who was supposed to bring the Twister game?

This juvenile display was to give the media an excuse to avoid talking about Trump’s speech today.

The names of the participants in this, must be published and shown on the web everywhere. To act like children like this is seriously unacceptable. Could you imagine doing this in your boss’ office??? You would be walked out so fast your head would spin. They need to resign!

The House should immediately pass a resolution of censure against every one of them for violating house rules, decorum and common decency.

Let them take that back to their constituents. They never mention Sen. Joe McCarthy without mentioning he was censured by the Senate.

If there were any GOP with a spine, they’d hand deliver JUICE BOXES to each sitting on the floor.

Feminists and queers often emulate 2-year-olds by sitting down before indulging in tantrums.

Looks like a bunch of spoiled children who didn’t get their way.


I think you’re being unkind and unfair.

I’m sure they’re just setting down or getting up from their daily kindergarten nap.
