Hallelujah!

However, I bet the Justice Bros. will have ta fight it...since it takes away "50 years of civil rights in WI". And, if that doesn't work, Bammy will declare the WI senate (Repubs only, of course) acted stupidly and he'll have to get his DO(un)J on it.

Nothing’s stopping them. That’s probably their best course of action.

Per fox.. The missing Dems are rushing back to Madison at this time

I believe these Democrats have committed bribery. They accepted money for food and housing from the very people that was the topic of the vote they were avoiding. Clear cut case in my view. Three weeks away from home should be in the thousands of dollars.

If this is a slam dunk violation of the open meetings law, why beat feet to get back?

RE :” Now what's the political balance sheet?

Just my view is that the longer standoff was killing Walker and he needed to break it anyway he could. Ideally they will all run back to WI, Republicans will get their way on both bills, the fiscle situation improves, companies move in and create jobs to take advantage of tax cuts, Democrats Boo-hoo, and they get called sore losers, and then Republicans win re-election, then Walker runs for POTUS and wins in a landslide (OK, that last part was just fun.)

Nothing was worse than the extended standoff after Democrats ‘made’ all those ‘concessions’. This is how Clinton beat you-know-who.

RE:” One problem is that Walker has insisted that the collective bargaining issue is a budget issue. Now he is going to sign it, after the legislature passed it, claiming that they didn't need 20 senators, because it isn't a budget item.

Interesting thought. So far Dems haven't thought that on MSNBC but I will be the first to credit you for the prediction if they do(or if my first reaction here is wrong.) . In the bigger longer picture I don't see it mattering because of the above.

Let me add something on this, they can make moral argument on that but not a legal one, it clearly isnt one. It doest matter what Walker said on TV on that.

Their first argument now is he was supposed to give 24 hours notice before the committee vote. They were saying they will notify the WI attorney general of this.

“If all that happened was stripping out the fiscal stuff, that could have been done long ago.”

Exactly! I would imagine that Walker didn’t want to act any sooner because of the accusations that he wasn’t willing to consider a compromise plus the crowds of protesters needed to be thinned out to prevent a potential police state crisis.
