Wisconsin - Oh no they DIDN'T
...well, actually, they did.
Placeholder post. Things have just happened, it's late, and I can't keep up with it right now.
Republicans *separated* the collective bargaining section of the so-called Budget Repair Bill, voted on it, and passed it 18-1.
Proves without doubt that this was never a financial issue, as they stated, since the overall budget and repair bill remain untouched.
Also, it was likely illegal as the vote was cast while the Capitol was *not* open to the public, which is in clear violation of established law.
Fallout: The Democrat Assembly (still in the state; only the Senators are gone) are holding 24-hour sessions in the Capitol which means the public are permitted to come in - and stay in, as long as sessions are underway.
Bedding is being delivered to the Capitol.

More as I can grab time to sift through the avalanche. But for gods' sake, go look for yourselves. Look everywhere, learn what's going on. Politics is rarely this interesting, and events are turning about an utterly huge axis right now.
