They should arrest them for violating Wisconsin’s open meeting laws:

19.81 Declaration of policy.
...
(2) To implement and ensure the public policy herein expressed, all meetings of all state and local governmental bodies shall be publicly held in places reasonably accessible to members of the public and shall be open to all citizens at all times unless otherwise expressly provided by law.
...
19.82 Definitions.
...
(2) “Meeting” means the convening of members of a governmental body for the purpose of exercising the responsibilities, authority, power or duties delegated to or vested in the body.

....
19.83 Meetings of governmental bodies.
...

How is their actions anything but an organized meeting of the democRATs - they left together, they are putting forth statements and it most definitely is not a social gathering.

One of the RAT Fleas, on MSNBC, just admitted that they ARE holding meetings at that out of state super-secret location. I wonder if there's a punishment applied to their obvious illegal activity.
