The lawmakers, all Democrats in the state Senate, did not show up when they were ordered to attend a midday vote on the legislation.
Sen. Jon Erpenbach said he and his 13 colleagues had left the state but would not say where they are.

Guys, seriously:
You know what? Screw the quorum. It’s time we play by Street Rules, like the Demons do. Vote it, pass it, Governor signs it. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool.
If they come back and object, hold the vote all over again, surprise-like.
Let’s play a little kickass.
I’ve heard that legislative rules require a quorum.
However,
GOP might not need Democrats to pass controversial legislation

Why haven’t these runaways been brought up on formal charges of dereliction of duty I know that if I (retired Prison guard and Security Officer 35 yrs)did not respond to an emergency or simply abandoned a post I would not have a job and there would have been absolutely no thought about it if I did so with arrogance of this bunch I have not even mentioned that bunch of over paid greedy teachers.
The way I understand it, they are outside of the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin, so they can’t be arrested in Illinois. Do we need an extradition treaty with Illinois? Who knew we needed one?
Find a group advocating their recall.
