Maybe the GOP could get creative - divide one of their “sure” precincts into two, appoint an interim additional member pending a local election, then call a quorum and get going on MAGA work.

Short term effect is we stop further stupid legislation

Long term effect is that I think the people of Minnesota will get more disgusted with this and more will change sides.

Let them do it.

I guess the republicans will have to save democracy?

[metmom]

Sounds like an insurrection to me.

Cutting taxes, holding criminals accountable, bringing down energy costs, and forming a new committee to combat fraud

We can't have that.

“Cutting taxes, holding criminals accountable, bringing down energy costs, and forming a new committee to combat fraud were among the GOP’s top goals.”

What crazy ideas! No wonder the Rats are upset!

[Mean Daddy]

I thought most legislatures had rules where the Sergeant at Arms could be ordered to bring them in.

[Red Badger]

You forget, this is a GOP led Legislature we’re talking about here.............

[LouAvul]

You beat me to it. RATs are spoiled children, angry that mommy isn’t around to applaud their refrigerator art.

[Wuli]

The hypocrite filled DFL. They know, and everyone knows, the DFL would be doing exaxctly as the GOP is doing, if the 67-66 majority went the other way.

[libertylover]

the members of the House DFL plan to stay away from the state capitol and prevent the GOP from achieving a quorum.

Childish.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Dems are soooo nasty when they don’t get their way. Like petulant low IQ children.

[Mean Daddy]

Touche

[VideoDoctor]

Republicans should look into the possibility of CREATING LEGISLATION that PERMANENTLY LOCKS OUT Dems who vacate from ever coming back.

If REPUBLICANS put their mind to it ANYTHING is POSSIBLE.

[Rockingham]

Declare their seats vacant, terminate their salaries, and lock their offices.

[DrHFrog]

In the Texas legislature, when the Dems don’t get their way, the cross the Red River and hide out in Oklahoma.

[Locomotive Breath]

Sounds like the fleebaggers of days gone by.

When the enemy walks out, you’ve won. Use the win!
