Buh. I just. Look apparently the budget "repair" bill "was not a union-busting bill" this whole time, guys, seriously, except since it was a budget bill it required a quorum, and since we can't get a quorum we're just going to drop all the non-union-related parts of the bill and pass it at like 8 PM after kicking as many people as possible out of the building despite a law that the public has to have access to all senate voting thingies. It was important to get the removal of all union bargaining powers passed! BUT TOTALLY NOT A UNION-BUSTING BILL YOU GUYS. Also we is government like ninja.
And, like, I can't be sure and I claim no legal scholarship but it doesn't seem like that can be entirely legal? And legal or not it is an incredibly, atrociously shitty thing to do?
So now it's apparently madness downtown with people locking themselves in the Capitol bathrooms and firetrucks driving around the square with their sirens going and, I don't even know, honestly you guys there is a point where open revolution becomes a perfectly reasonable response to the activities of a governing body, and I'm wondering how many more laws and court orders and basic guidelines of human decency have to be broken here before we hit that point. I mean, yes, we had an election in November, but if you expect us to just sit down quietly and wait two or four or six years until the next election before having a say then hahahahahaha you are just too precious.
I am kind of too flabbergasted to be particularly coherent at this juncture. Just, um, wow. What the fuck?
