What wool he is trying to pull is that the referral by the Senate to Committee is illegal. Which action by the Senate does not requite a quorum to implement (only fiscal items need a quorum). The Committee - from the House and Senate - removed all items with fiscal implications - once out of Committee the Bill cannot be amended by either House or Senate and must be voted up or down.

I think they are arguing something along the lines of a piece of legislation has to be available for 12 or 24 hours for review. The Republicans only allowed 2 hours.

They are grasping at straws, but this is what they are claiming.

Agreed.

If the fleabaggeres were given 12 or 24 hours, they'd want 12 or 24 days. The law says only appropriate notice... 2 hrs is enough time to get to Madison from Rockford, IL. Had they notified the Committee they were on their way back, they might have gained more time. But they knew, if they had shown up, all the appropriations would have been included, making them look like the idiots they are.
