I, would love to see him try to fire these Demohacks to watch Obama's head spin.

The “run to avoid a quorum” trick works if you can leave one person behind to force a roll call to check if a quorum is there. But what happens if the Republicans just don’t call a roll and assume that there are 20 Senators there and start voting on those things requiring a 3/5 quorum? Can they just deem there to be a quorum unless someone demands an actual roll call... but if there were a Dem there to do it they would have the 20 they need? What legal options do the Dems have if the Republicans just start voting things in 19-0 and “assume” that the Dem (there had to have been one somewhere) just abstained?

About the only way they could pull off “intolerable pressure” on one of those legislators would be a very backdoor means, using one of the more disreputable tricks involved with the drug war, asset forfeiture.

Simple put, since legislators cannot be arrested on State charges, or obliged to attend State court in civil actions, they have limited immunity.

However, because of drug war rules, property can be “arrested”, even if its owner is not charged with a crime. Any home, property, or vehicle of these legislators could be seized if so much as a minuscule amount of drugs were found in or on them—or are alleged to be by an anonymous informant.

Of course, if the legislator returns home promptly, it can all be cleared up quickly. But until then, their expensive sports car, for example, will be held in a police impound lot. Or if they live alone, their home can be secured by the police as a potential crime scene.

Once local or State police had done this, of course, they would have to contact the federal authorities, but that could take days or weeks.

I am sure to hear the weepy cry of baby democraps all the way down in South Texas if he does this. I want to see it happen, and to see the losers kicked out if they don’t want to be there.

Each Rep and Senator has a place to sit in their respective chamber, that place is called a seat. The seat is vacated when you refuse to sit in it during session. One can argue a bunch of BS, but that’s what it means to vacate one’s seat. Let the courts decide what a vacated seat means. The American people know. My employees know what a happens when they vacate their seat.
I like mine with butter, please.

Here’s another solution: have one Republican officially change parties.

The seats aren't vacant.

These Democrat legislators are communists. I've been saying that Democrats are communists. It is their belief in a strong central Government and controlled by Marxist that is the main basis. Putting King Obama as dictator is one of their main objects since King Obama is a dunce and can be used for their purpose.

The members are absent but the seat is vacant.

I would rather explore the right of the governor to withhold pay from them while they are absent.

Oh how I hope one of his advisors reads here. Wouldn’t it be lovely if he announced tomorrow that if they were not back in session by X date that a special eletion would be called to replace every one of them.... LOL

Doesn't Wisconsin have recall? I thought that was the law since laFollette’s day. it seems tome some freepers could take the law of the state in their own hands and recall a legislator or two.

Vacant is the wrong word; “abandoned” makes it work. Failure to answer quorum calls may be the key.

I saw this at MISH today:

"Inquiring minds are reading snips from a Letter from FDR Regarding Collective Bargaining of Public Unions written August 16, 1937.

All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management.

The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations.

Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees.

A strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable. "
