I heard rumor a couple of the Republicans have gone on the lam, too. I haven't seen anything like this since the days of the antiwar protests in the early 70s.

I just got this Tweet emailed to me by one of my coworkers, who covers a Marquette labor law prof for one of our products:
Senate chamber doors are barricaded. GOP wants to get lunch, but the police refuse to escort them.

Didn't the Texan dems have to do that a few years ago too? Also, how can they send police after them--what law are they breaking??

Now tagless for your comfort.
The Dems did it in Texas--back when Delay was redistricting, I believe back in 2003.
OH NOES! The GOP will have to order in. Fuckers.

Yeah, the Texas Dems escaped to Oklahoma, I believe.
State law says that legislators can be compelled to report to the Capitol, and that state police can be used to bring them in. The same thing applied in Texas.

They're probably hiding out in the UP.

I think the texans hid in new Mexico, I recall sarameg being excited by it.
