See the Democrats Scream and Run Away: Now Thirty-Seven Indiana Legislators Flee Their State Rather Than Lose a Vote, Fair and Square

Now the Democrats in Indiana are fleeing their state as well, departing Indianapolis and their state  rather than trying to persuade their Republican opponents to vote against an anti-union bill.

This is childish, and more proof that all the states need laws which clearly define dereliction of duty, and the declaration of vacancy of their seats.  Only three of forty Democratic senators showed up for work this morning.

Perhaps they’re going to Wisconsin to get doctors notes too.

All politicians who stoop to using this tactic should be locked out, and their resignations considered accepted.

It may be that anti-union measures need to be put before voters themselves as the state legislatures don’t have the brass to handle this issue.  Right to Work issues probably should go on the ballot anyways as they require amendments to state constitutions in a number of states.

How many more states will be paralyzed by shortsighted politicians who decide that they should stop all work and take a paid holiday just to stall one vote?
