Heard all the Republican moaning about how Wisconsin's missing state senators should do their jobs and show up for a vote? Guess what: the Republicans in the state senate have 58% of the seats... and yet can't pass this bill. Sound familiar? Remember health care? Remember all the talk about it being "crammed down our throats"?
Obviously, what the Wisconsin senate needs is a rule that nothing can happen without the support of 60% of the senators. Then the Democrats could show up and everyone would be happy, except perhaps the Republicans. Just think of what's happening in Wisconsin as a filibuster.
