In October 1861, the Missouri legislature voted to secede and the bill was signed into law by the Governor. However, the North had military control of the state capitol at that time, the legislature continued to flee south to Texas where it stayed for the remainder of the war.

The North refused to recognize the secession (although the Confederates did) and replaced the Missouri legislature with pro-Union politicians.

The legality of most what happened is debatable but there is precedent for (a) replacing state elected politicians who have fled and (b) for the federal government to intervene/meddle.

In the present situation, the former favors the GOP and the latter supports Barack Hussein Obama and his union thugs.

Hopefully, some Tea Party Lawyers in Wisconsin will read your post and start a similiar movement:

Clean out their offices, fire the aides left behind and lock the doors of their offices would be a good start.
