In a way; it is too bad that Keith Olberpuke is not there anymore. I would love to have seen his reaction.

I strongly suspect the Capitol building will be occupied and thoroughly trashed tomorrow. I also expect some of GOPers homes to be firebombed if it passes the Assembly.

It's going to get really ugly, really really fast, now, including personal violence against the GOP members. The Union Bolshevikii aren't going to go quietly on this one.

The following was priceless...

I flipped to MSNBC and the guest said the Dem’s are so upset that they’re trying to get the State Attorney General involved.

And the anchor interjected “But isn’t the Attorney General a Republican?”

Yes, the AG for WI is indeed a Republican!

Wonder what "nearly" means? Would like to read the bill.

This was explained right at the beginning of this saga. The bill still allows collective bargaining for wages, and police and firefighter unions are exempt from the bill entirely.

Gonna end up in the courts.

Screw the damn courts. Time to tell the courts to get the hell out of the States business.

Do we know for sure that it wasn’t scheduled in advance?

Even some of them should be able to see that saying no and holding firm against the dim-marxists doesn’t make the world explode. I wouldn’t count on McGraham being able to get even that simple point.

THe AG has also been surprisingly quiet throughout this whole escapade. They must have seen this coming and didn’t want the AG being seen as taking sides???

As I recall, his wife is a teacher.

However, I would wager that, of the other 18, several have a wife or close family member who is a teacher. And they found a way to do the right thing.

Schultz didn't.

Now if the Dems happen to get a stay, do the pink slips go out?
