The Wisconsin Democrats are fillibustering

[wellstone dem]

Just as the Republicans in the Senate, use the rules to force compromise, so the Wisconsin Democrats are using the quorum rules to force compromise.

It is using the rules.
It is part of doing their job.

3. Are the Wisconsin Dems filibustering absolutely everything like the Senate Repubs did?

The filibuster is a tool to be used not abused like the Senate Repubs have clearly done but you already know that. Don't let that get in the way of your snark, though.

7. I bet you didn't complain when the Republicans did it all the time.

I swear half the time I wonder if this a Progressive site or not?

5. I think it doesn't matter, ultimately

Wisconsin doesn't need them present to pass, say, a right-to-work law. Then the unions are fucked for good in that state.
