Wisconsin's Governor Threatened Layoffs

AP – Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgeral, R-Juneau, signs orders finding the 14 missing Democrats …

The Governor and Republican's have had it with the Democrats in WI, who fled to IL. They are threatening layoffs and having the police round them up.

On Thursday night, a judge ordered around 100 protesters who had been spending the night there for weeks to leave, although he said they could return during regular business hours. During a hearing over access to the Capitol, police said they found 41 rounds of .22-caliber rifle ammunition scattered at several locations outside the building.

What?!?! Peaceful Union member's armed?!? No. That is obviously planted by an evil, right-winger.
The Republican leader of the state Senate signed orders finding the 14 AWOL Democrats in contempt and allowing the chamber's sergeant at arms to use police force to detain them if necessary. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says his orders are only binding should the senators return to Wisconsin.

The Senate passed a resolution earlier in the day setting a 4 p.m. deadline for the senators to appear at the chamber. When none of them did, Fitzgerald signed the orders in dramatic fashion — in the center of the Senate chamber. State patrol officers watched silently from the gallery as Fitzgerald signed the orders executing the order. The Democrats left in protest over an anti-union bill.
Clearly, these are Nazi tactics. Racists, all of them!
Howard Schweber, an associate political science and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said Senate Republicans can properly order police to enforce their rules, as long as they don't try to impose criminal sanctions on the Democrats.
Yeah, well, still. 
Once the senators do return, Fitzgerald said they could face reprimand, censure or even expulsion.

Ugh. I'm sorry. I don't understand why these people won't go back and do their job. Comment below.
