I, would love to see him try to fire these Demohacks to watch Obama's head spin.
Corn in the popper!
emails are in order . let the governor know the people are behind him and to replace those derelicts.
Don’t think it works unless they actually resign or break a law and get thrown out. I’d like to think he can just do it, but it seems sort of vague.
I like this governor.
And with the union head willing to make concessions, you know where the public is standing on this story.
Oh, that *WOULD* be awesome to see.
Write a letter, certified mail, to him with the idea and the relevant Constitutional section.
:)
That was fast!
Wisconsin Democrats could stay away for weeks

There must be a constitutional process for a Legislator unwilling to complete their term.

Sounds like this guy has a possible future running with Sarah Palin for POTUS and VP.
I guess the question becomes, at what point is a seat considered vacant.
Please let this happen! It seems like the perfect time and the perfect opportunity to shove Obozo out the door.
Good Idea Ping.
He should just declare them mentally incompetent and replace them.
The governor has the authority to call an election for a vacancy but I don’t see that he has the authority to declare a seat vacant.
I’ll send him a $100 campaign donation if he’ll just try and fire these wussies...
1. Governor announces calmly that he will declare vacant the seat of any legislator whose absence from the floor plainly is voluntary / obstinate (as is provable these days by their public statements, Tweets, etc.) if the absence lasts 72 hours or more.
2. Wait the 72 hours.
3. If any Dems fail to appear on the floor in time, declare the seat vacant and schedule a special election for each. (This immediately whittles away the # of legislators required for a quorum, because it lowers the number “elected” (validly holding office).)
Um, I doubt that Scott will go there.
The Dems really booted it. To run away on the first little thing that didn’t appeal to them is causing them to be a laughingstock. There is much worse to come - what are they going to do - seek asylum in Canada?
They will come back sheepishly. They will learn, eventually, to take it. Just like the Repubs had to “take it” for years.
