They should have no jobs when they return. They should be docked in their paychecks and give up their pension benefits, medical benefits; etc.

So presumably the teachers stay on strike, too, until this thing is settled?
Great. The kids are the losers, once again.

Can the taxpayers/voters of Wisconsin throw these RATs out of office now via recall petititions?

Can the governor cancel their state credit cards?

Fine. Declare their Seats vacant. If the Wisconsin Governor has the power to appoint replacements, do so. If he doesn’t, call for special elections.

Freeze their pay and arrest them on sight when they return. Impeach and replace them.

At some point, aren’t they breaking their oath of office? Could the Governor remove them from office for non-performance? Could he order a special election?

Are you kidding? The students in Wisconsin weren’t getting an education worth a darn from these loon Liberals! They were being brainwashed into becoming the future Liberals of Wisconsin.

I wish the Democrats in Sacramento would stay away for years.

Why aren’t they personally liable for the expenses wasted during this legislative session?
