It was also recently disclosed that withholding paychecks was determined to not be legal, so that option is out.

They'd better hold special sessions each and every day. Otherwise the Fleebaggers will just stay on vacation until April 5 scot-free.

It sounds like Fitzgerald is setting the stage for legal action - but will they have the guts to actually do it?

We know what would already be happening if the tables were turned and RATS were in charge.

Sure would save time if Illinois Tea Party members would just drag one of their asses across the stateline!

They should have to pay taxes on every dime that’s given to them. And none of this should be a tax deduction. They love taxes so much. Let ‘em pay some!

Actually, the senate should vote to change the rules then vote. It’ll go to court but how long will that take?

All that I seem to glean from any of these republicans is that they are tired and can't do anything more... will they surrender next?

they are engaging in an illegal activity regarding doing teir jobs. Absent without leve. Some business calls that quitting.

Fire them. They are attempting to stop legal performance of our system of governance.. Fine them.

I noticed the media has stopped trying to pressure the GOP and encourage the fleebaggers with stories about Walker's 'dwindling popularity'.

I guess people weren't buying any of it.

I can tell you that the a number of the talk radio people here in Milwaukee are taking calls from more and more people pissed (me included) that nothing is being done in Madison by the GOP. Vikki McKenna was noticeably frustrated when speaking with Walker today that NOTHING is being done.

Pass something that doesn’t need a quorum (Voter ID, Right to Work, Illegal Immigration)! Instead we get daily reports about how hard the GOP is trying to get the Dems back and how exasperated they are that nothing is getting done.

We elected this government in WI to get done! Instead we get hand wringing and roll overs while trying to say that look we’re not as mean as the Dems say we are.

They better be planning on declaring their seats vacant after 30 days because at this point I am ready to join 26% of Republicans polled in WI that disapprove of the way Walker and the GOP are handling this.

Then start passing laws that don’t require a quorum. Make hay while the sun is shining.

Gah!

Other than passing [or how about REPEALING] a ton of laws that “We can’t pass because the democrats don’t like them”, how about:

* Passing a law making it a felony for an elected official to refuse to perform the duties of the office.

* Doubling the fine each day

* Removing ALL expense accounts (as in, office staff are not allowed to send mail, fax machine unplugged, ...)

* Putting office staff on unpaid leave.

* Find them guilty in abstentia of “contenpt of congress”

* Expel them

* Isn’t this a census year? Does Wisconsis need to do any redistricting?

So they get paid for not showing up for their job? Must be a democrat judge. Their pay is not being withheld, it is being accumulated in a very safe place (the center desk drawer of their office desks in the Capital Building).

They can be "arrested" and compelled to show up for a Senate session but they must be paid when they are in contempt of the Senate? Strange world we live in...
