According to the Senate rules, a quorum (2/3 of the entire body) is only required on fiscal matters. A simple majority is enough for other business.

Thanks. Well then, if I were Gov. Walker and the legislature I would commence to introduce and pass any number of bills that were designed to discomfort the missing Democrat legislators. As the Obozo is want to say, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat”

I’m hoping that’s the legislature’s next step. They have concealed carry and Voter ID on their list of things to do.

If I were in the Republican leadership in that state, I would hold daily press conferences, pointing out the Dems' cowardice, and how they're holding the state hostage.

Nope. The republican should just open the legislature and call for a voice vote that a quorum was present, then vote the law into being. Congress does this kind of crap all the time. Someone actually has to object and force a roll call, but that would require a dem be present, which would create the quorum. From what I understand that's all they need for the quorum, is one single dem, so the dems can't even just have a ringer there to force proper parlementary procedure.

This isn't rocket science. When Dems act like children you just have to go on without them.

On THIS premise alone (they are trying to crash the system) Boehner SHOULD stand and fight like the Wis Gov resign and let a real man take the leadership position.

can they take this opportunity to pass 10 other bills that are waiting? or write some new ones ? that would be poetic justice !
