Min Leader was saying the meeting prior to the vote was illegal,

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.

In a way, the fleebnaggers where hoisted by their own petard of absence when the vote went 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.
