STFU, Conservatives
AP: "Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights from most public workers, abruptly passing the measure early Friday morning before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening." »

I can hardly fucking believe the sliminess of this:

Democrats launched a filibuster, throwing out dozens of amendments and delivering rambling speeches. Each time Republicans tried to speed up the proceedings, Democrats rose from their seats and wailed that the GOP was stifling them.

Debate had gone on for 60 hours and 15 Democrats were still waiting to speak when the vote started around 1 a.m. Friday. Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, opened the roll and closed it within seconds.

Democrats looked around, bewildered. Only 13 of the 38 Democratic members managed to vote in time.

This shit goes beyond party lines, this goes beyond pro-union anti-union, this is not democracy. How dare they open and close the rolls before Democrats even have a chance to vote.

“Hey do you want to strip unions of their right to collectively bargain?”

“Well actually n-.”

“Too late! The vote is closed.”

I’m shaking with fury right now…
