We should start getting angry with the Repubs if they don't take this as an opportunity to pass Voter ID, Right to Work, Vermont-style CCW, and Stand Your Ground laws, none of which needs the Dems for quorum.
You are exactly correct. The people at their desks now are taking the high road. Why would they want to surrender that by abusing the law and abusing their positions? Stay at your desks and do what you can do. Delay does not hurt the Republicans at all, when the delay us PURELY the fault of those who have abandoned their responsibility.
