    Democrats flee Wisconsin to avoid vote, police searching...

    Seriously, this just happened

    A planned state Senate vote on slashing Wisconsin public worker pensions and curbing their unions stalled Thursday after Senate Democrats apparently fled the state.


    The contentious vote was postponed because the 33-member Senate must have 20 present for a quorum and not a single Democrat attended. There are only 19 Republicans so at least one Democrat must be present for the Senate to open business.


    Police have been sent out to look for the wayward lawmakers, the Associated Press reported. A source said it appeared that the Democrats had boarded a bus headed for Iowa.
    Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."

    Ah, the Texas TwoStep moves north....



    Well, maybe the bus was just headed to Denny's and it sounded like a good idea. Or maybe they are making a McRib run.

    A few years ago, the Texas Democrats did a similar thing. Went to a hotel in Oklahoma. I think that was over re-districting, maybe the budget.

    They sent the Texas Rangers (cops, not baseball team) after them, but the OKlahoma Highway Patrol wouldn't let the Texican Rangers cross the border without a court order!!!

    If it were anybody but them they would be found in contempt of congress and warrants would be issued.

    Except that the Wisconsin (State) Senate can't issue an order of contempt if it doesn't have a quorum, and they aren't there to constitute the quorum,so the State Senate.... well, you get it.

    The Democrats appear to be better at fighting dirty.

    Looking at the OP... wow, that's funny! Imagine running away to avoid a vote! It's like a comedy sketch.
    Please could everyone pray for Mieke and Charles.
