Walker sends police to find missing legislators
hot air ^ | 2/18/11 | Ed Morrissey

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has made the next move in the Battle of Mad Town:

According to the Wisconsin senate majority leader, the Governor’s office is sending out state troopers to go after Wisconsin’s Democratic Senate members to bring in a vote on Governor Walker’s budget bill which would dramatically limit government workers union’s ability to negotiate many of their benefits.

“They are prepared to dispatch state troopers to go out to some of the residences of some of the senators,” said Republican State Senator Scott Fitzgerald on Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s “Midday with Charlie Sykes.”

“We don’t know that everybody is out of state. These troopers are going to go and try to escort these senators back to the chamber.”

Democrats did show up for the Assembly this morning on time, but that won’t make much difference. Without the Senate, the legislature cannot act on any issue at all. According to one legislator caught on tape running away from a Tea Party activist, Bob Jauch, none of them know for sure when they’ll come back:

You know, I wonder if that is true. It seems like the Fitzgerald brothers haven’t been as well informed as they should be lately.

“According to one legislator caught running away from a Tea Party activist...”

These boys might need some fresh clothes so the police should bring some orange jumpsuits with them.

There's a news story here. I wasn't aware that the public bloat-covered Bob Jauch was capable of running in the first place.

Too bad there aren’t 52 of them. We could make another deck of cards!

Have the senators broken a law? Can the governor compel them to go where they don’t want to go?

Do these rats, union, elected and otherwise, really think that they hold a winning hand here? Do they think that acting like spoiled adolescents is a good way to win popular support from the public? Do they have even one working brain cell?

Amazingly if we look at history the Repubs have given them more than enough time, and time again that YES they probably do think they have a winning hand, but mostly they believe because Obama is on their side they can do any damned thing they want, and get away with it.

I really wonder if it would be possible for the Governor to send bounty hunters after these scroundrels? Would that take a court judgement, or does the Governor have that authority under his power to compel them to attend? I know I would cheer! Maybe the Governor could get a warrant for thier arrest and then send out the bounty hunters. America is being very interesting for the first time in a long time!

Republicans should meet and pass bills that don't need the one DemocRat to be present!

And they should use this time to send the bug exterminators to the DemocRats office to fumigate the offices. Do it NOW...for the children!

How long before they can do a welfare check- maybe these missing persons died of heart problems when asked to make a difference in the general welfare-however modest the proposal was? I would bring them back to face legal charges of dereliction of their sworn duty. why is it these Democrats seem always to go AWOL whenever they are confronted with a
Patriotic leader not a ring led sheep of the DNC?

Doesn’t it become a felony for them to have crossed state lines in dereliction of their sworn duties?

Of the 14 DemonRat senators, only 2 of them have actually seen, getting into a CAR, as per the you tube clip by the Freepers. I would bet that not all 14 are hiding, but that some of them have slipped home, or never left to begin with. THEY are HIDING at their homes, in the basements.. That's what I read in somebodies blog. The ones that are AWOL are no doubt using Wisconsin Senate credit cards . This should be investigated right now. Not three years from now!
