A quorum is not a tool. It is a protection of the people’s rights! Quorums are designed to insure that the people's voice will be heard during legislation by insuring that a majority of legislators are present during debate and voting. Should disease or other disasters keep legislators from the capitol the quorum keeps the minority from passing legislation during the absence. The quorum also protects the peoples rights by compelling a majority of legislators to be present, preventing the legislators from being lazy or lackadaisical in their duties.
A quorum is not a tool, it is a protection of the people's rights and these Senators are abusing this legal protection.
Thank you ! Excellent post and information ! Abuse is right !!
