You know the Rats got their ass handed to them by the way they are whining in defeat.

Though the announcement was pitched as a deal, state Democrats said Republicans were unilaterally bringing the debate to a close. One aide in Minority Leader Peter Barca's office said Republicans gave the Democrats two options: debate 38 additional amendments or end debate immediately. "We will strongly make our points, but understand you are limiting the voice of the public as you do this," said Democratic state Rep. Mark Pocan of Madison. "You can't dictate democracy. You are limiting the people's voice with this agreement this morning."

Nice work WI GOP.

No, you asshat, no one is limiting anything. Your side simply lost so badly that you can't pose a meaningful challenge to the side that won. That IS democracy in a representative republic.
