I have read suggestions on twitter that folks be in the chamber, and leave when Bibi begins to speak to prevent this, or just stand and turn their backs on him during the speech.
My question, can or would Boehner fill the empty seats with staffers?

If they're going to use a version of the "Brooks Brothers riot" tactic, they've telegraphed it way in advanced, and there's no excuse for not being ready for it.
