I keep thinking the same thing. I guessed it has never occured to the WI Senate that a minority party would skip the state to avoid a vote. Afterall, Republicans have never tried it. It they had, you can bet there would be an precedent on how to AGGRESSIVELY handle the situation. (My guess is, they would have just voted without them, knowing the liberal WI courts would withhold the law. With Republicans, it would be the opposite, judge would declare law null and void.)
It happened in Texas several years ago. Democrats again. Can’t recall off-hand what the results were, but they looked like complete fools.
Yeah but....if they held the vote, the rats would return with the idea they would take it to court. Once they returned, there’d be a quorum. The senate could then, through parliamentary procedures, declare the prior vote taken in error, observe there is a quorum, and vote again.
