Here's what you do, since all appropriations-type bills (such as the one currently at issue) require a three-fifths majority.

Somewhere there has to be a "wish-list" of bills of other types which the Wisconsin GOP has wanted to pass, which need merely a majority of those present.

Call the governor, and start passing them rapid-fire, and have the governor sign them.

Then they are LAW.

Do this with five or six of the Dems' favorite things, and watch the missing Senators come back to Madison at Warp Factor 6 or better...

Cheers!

Yesterday I came across the rule that Wisc Senate rules changes require a 2/3 majority OF THOSE PRESENT to pass, but since rules changes are not appropriations, a majority would be a quorum.

Have the Republicans figure a wish list of Senate rules changes, and pass them.
