If they’re back in WI, the Senate Rule 89 may allow the Sergeant at Arms to go and haul their happy hind ends back to the Senate.

Reports are coming in that good ol' Tea Party activists are on their tail now.

Video of several carloads of Tea Partiers chasing a 'short bus' full of Democrat State Senators north on Interstate 94 would just be seven kinds of awesome!

Generally the word brave is not followed by the word fled.

According to others who have posted that live in Wisconsin, to pass fiscal bills there is a separate 3/5 quorum requirement. However...read further in section 7 and a majority quorum is all that is necessary for the Wisconsin House to set penalties for absent members. And they aren’t restricted in what those penalties might be...how about forfeiture of the seat after a certain period and a heavy monetary fine? Then direct the Governor to appoint replacements until an election is held. Problem solved and the yellow Rats sit there in Illinois like idiots.

So far, this is the best suggestion I've seen. How can we help make it happen??

That would be the first time in my life that I would consider 'Pay-Per-View'. I'd max my cards out laughing my ass off, over and over again.

Texas Democrats did this once...went to Oklahome. They looked
as stupid as they actually were.

I don’t think the Governor doesn’t need these fools to pass his bill
so what are they doing besides wasting taxpayer money on their
little jaunt!

With an iPhone, it can be on YouTube right now.

Seriously, the 3GS and 4 can shoot a video and upload it to YouTube directly.

Yeah, they're so tough and brave they fled the state of Wisconsin in a  desperate attempt to stifle democracy.

Gateway Pundit says they are back in Wisconsin.....

Maybe it's occurring to them that:

1) They better be using their own money for this field trip or be guilty of misappropriation of govt funds
2) They have to continue to be away from their jobs for the scam to work, and that includes staying out of state away from their homes and families
3)The pubbies can have free reign of any lawmaking they want that doesn't include financial laws under Senate rules. That could end a LOT of their favorite programs right there.
4) The fines the pubbies levy on the absent dems could be huge.
5) Who knows what else the pubbies up there have in mind for payback????

I think the dems are in a world of hurt and are going to need to give up on this one. Just my $.02

The unions probably have contractual agreements with the state to hire only employees willing to be forced into joining the union. Like a closed shop, sadly.
