Re: Nearly half of sigs collected for recall of Wisconsin GOP state senators, Dems sa
is that like when Nancy Pelosi pulled parliamentarian tricks to force an unreconciled senate bill through the House after the election of RINO Scott Brown almost doomed their hopes for Obamacare?
No, it was nothing like that at all.
The law said that a quorom of 20 had to be present for BUDGET BILLS. If a bill isn't a budget bill, say, for example, a bill ending a pressure group's monopoly on workplace employment, then it can pass with simple majorities.
Gee, it was too bad all the Democrats were on vacation when that happened. Seems that part of the job of a state senator is to be present at the capitol to provide representation for their constituents and to debate all bills that are brought to the floor. By being the real wusses, the Wisconsin Democrats allowed their evil constituents to be blind sided with absolutely no public debate whatsoever.
But you go ahead, keep your eyes closed to the truth.
they... wussed...out.
Period. End of story.
They knew they couldn't follow the rules and win a vote, so they pulled a James T Kirk and tried to change the conditions of the game. Unlike Kirk, they don't get a commendation for original thinking.
