Wisconsin Democrats in for big FAIL?

Wisconsin Democrats In 4 Big FAIL?

In late June 1950,  the Soviet boycott of the UN  (over allowing Red China entrance)  backfired when the Security Council voted to invoke military action in Korea.
The Soviets could have blocked the action, but no
Russian delegate was present. In just a short time, a multinational U.N. force arrived in South Korea and the grueling three-year Korean War was underway. [Soviets boycott United Nations Security Council]

Guess what?  It appears commie braniacs have done it again in Wicsonsin.
The Wisconsin Republicans have come up with an angle to put pressure on the Democrats. In the State constitution, a quorum is only needed for budget issues. If no budget is involved, no quorum is needed.

So the senate is going to meet tomorrow, and start passing non budget bills and making office appointments quickly, with just their simple majority.

The end result is that they can do the vast majority of legislative business for the year in just a few days, and the Democrats will have no say in it.

They can also change the civil and criminal law, which could be a humdinger. [Anymoose.The O Club]

So they could broaden the fish and game law discription of what "vermin" are. Yeah year round shooting.

I wonder if there is a law that says votes must be held in the state capitol. What would happen if the Dems were located, and the Republicans bused there, even if it's in Illinois. As they arrive, a quorum is declared, the vote taken and recorded, and the Republicans can then be on their way with the law passed.

Can you say Wisconsin Concealed Carry? Sure. I knew you could.

Better yet, what if one of the Republicans just switched parties and then they held the vote?
And when this is all over, I wonder what's going to happen the next time a kid in Wisconsin misses a few days of school and brings in an obviously fake excuse from his parents or doctor?

Forging or misusing a medical document (anything with an MD's or hospital's letterhead is considered to be one) used to be a criminal offense here. I managed to fire a piece of union deadwood thirty years ago for that reason. I and others who had tried for years couldn't get rid of her for absenteeism and incompetence between her own playing the rules to the limit, the race card and a strong union, but threat of prosecution for "misusing or forging a substantial document" sent her out the door.

First law to pass. If all members of a party are absent, in a declared or undeclared protest, A "work stoppage" is declared and all members of that party forfeit their remaining salary for that year.

If a second stoppage occurs they are declared to have resigned.

That out to fix it.

My bill:
Any member not present for regular business for three consecutive days shall be deemed to have resigned or become incapacitated. The Governor shall appoint a replacement for the remainder of that absentee's term.
Any member intentionally absenting themselves for any length of time in order to pervert the regular order of business, shall be indicted for the treason of denying the right of every citizen to representation.
That member shall be tried by a judge and jury randomly selected from the voting rolls of the betrayed district. If found not-guilty, the defendant may be re-tried until found guilty. Of course, the defendant shall be tried in absentia.
A plebiscite shall be held to determine the sentence and manner of execution. In order to avoid extreme cruelty, no wild animals, dismemberment, or fire may be employed until after the executed is declared more-or-less unconscious.

Lets see....

They could pass NH/AK/VT style carry.

They could make employee unions unlawful, and attach a 5 year criminal penalty for being a member. This would invalidate ALL contracts, since you cannot contract to perform a criminal act.

They could broaden the definition of an empty state congress seat, and then fill that seat in the same day.

There ya go.

Wisconsin is one of the few states without concealed carry laws. How's about we go from zero to Constitutional Carry (a la Vermont, Alaska and Arizona) in one fell swoop?

It's really quite simple. Just make Wisconsin a "Right to Work" state.
