>>To all you whiners who think the reps caved by going home at 5, they were without lights, the doors were being locked so they couldn’t leave for food or drink. Would you have stayed? This was a great show of force and it still is. Grow up whiners and see this for what it is, a great moment in history. If they don’t follow through and this, and I think they will, then you can call them wimps and say we are screwed but not because they didn’t want to sweat to death in the dark.<<

Thank you.
Or be carted out by Nancy’s goons for loitering. She called the session, they were not officially there.

Better they start again Monday.

All of the Democrats, and probably most all Republicans, will be at home in their home states by then. Little point in demanding they come back to the chamber for a vote then.

It was a noble gesture on their part, but aside from a little public exposure, I'm not at all certain they effected anything.

No vote was taken. Nancy stood her ground and got her way - more power for her?
