“They can hold off, but there is a whole legislative agenda that Republicans in the senate and assembly can start acting on that only requires simple majorities,” Walker warns.“If they want to do their jobs, and have a say, they better show up.”

Git 'er done!! Now we just need to see ALL the Senate GOPers show the same spine Walker is showing.

Abolish public sector unions

They’d only need 17 state senators for that quorum

May God Bless Gov. Scott Walker for holding his ground. Amen.

I understand that some protestors are camping out overnight inside the capital. Can’t they be legally evicted or arrested?

I love the idea of just passing the other legislation without them. How about passing a law that says legislators who are absent without a doctors excuse lose their staff for the rest of the year?

[Tex-Con-Man]

You mean to tell me there isn’t one blueish dog in the bunch that couldn’t be bribed into showing up for this one session? I find that hard to believe...

Walker's office should start a false rumor that they are currently in secret negotiations for the the return of one of the wayward dems as a way of creating suspicion within the dem coalition. And then start putting out baited hooks to see if any bite.

How long before the governor fires them all?

[SwankyC]

Seems to me the obvious decision is to just appoint replacements and then hold a special election to replace those legislators that have resigned their positions by leaving the state. Now THAT would put a stop to the nonsense pulled by the communist left.

[DelphiUser]

This may be a stupid question, if so I apologize in advance.

The 2/3 only applies to budget bills, correct?

Can't the lawmakers still in Madison pass a law saying if a state legislator is AWOL for a week the head of his/her party appoints a replacement, and inorganic party head is present the Governor?

That would effectively end this as a tactic forever.

Sounds like he has got ‘em by the .... if they don’t show up Republicans can pass legislation that would otherwise not pass...the Republicans’ dream legislation...

How long does it take to establish residency in Illinois?

Pass Constitutional Carry a la Vermont style.

Take the pay the 14 Dems would be getting and hold it in escrow so the monies could be used to defray costs for the school makeup days. Get a judgement lien on thier property to pay for the rest.

Put a lien on their pay for however many years they have left to serve to repay the taxpayers for the fraud of not doing their jobs.

Indict them for conspiracy to commit violent civil disobedience and trespass. Include the union leaders.

there is a whole legislative agenda that Republicans in the senate and assembly can start acting on that only requires simple majorities

Stop talking about it and just do it!

Does anyone think the Democrats would squander this opportunity?

Republicans, just once, just once, don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
