Missed it, but they must be used to it. If you get a link be sure to post it.
Is there a list of the Dems names?
I want to send my own personal greetings to each of them.
I’ll try to find one.
I can’t remember the last time I listened to Hannity- but it was an excellent interview.
The difference I detected while listening to him was his confidence- not defensive or offensive- just strong. I think he’ll get r done.
Here are the missing senators with their pictures.

Yes, I know that it should. But, under the doctrine of separation of powers, it might not be applicable.
I think that other articles have already stated that the WI Constitution prohibits arrest or detention of legislators while the legislature is in session. Texas has the same kind of prohibition.
But, that's to keep the executive or judicial branches from keeping a legislator from voting. As far as I know, no one has ever tried to force a legislator to vote.
“So ... why doesn’t the GOP separate the collective bargaining provisions into a new bill, pass it through committee, and vote on it without the Dems present?”
Exactly my thought as well. and then move on to right-to-work, concealed carry, voter id, and all the rest.
Eventually the state will run out of spending authority and have to be shut down until the rats come scurrying back.

MADISON — Wisconsin Senate Democrats continued their walkout on the Capitol for a second day, prompting Sen. Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Horicon, to call in the State Patrol.
Fitzgerald indicated he would send two troopers to the residence of Sen. Minority Leader Mark Miller, D-Monona, in an effort to bring him back to the Capitol.
