Will the KOCHs send thugs to Wisconsin in order to turn it violent?
I'm just wondering if we might see a version of the 2000 election in Florida happen in Wisconsin..

2. Not sure they'll know where to send them--read this:
MADISON (AP) -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says the Legislature will not officially be in session when he delivers his budget speech at a private Madison business next week.

Walker's office said in a press release Tuesday that he planned to deliver his speech at a joint session of the Legislature at animal feed manufacturer Vita Plus in Madison.

But the Wisconsin Legislative Council says unless there is an emergency, state law requires the Legislature to meet in the Capitol building.

After that memo was released, Walker's spokesman Cullen Werwie said Walker's address at Vita Plus would be a speech and not a joint session of the Legislature. Walker will officially release his budget when the Legislature is in session in the Capitol.

*******

MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's plan to have the Legislature meet outside of the Capitol may not be legal.

One of the Legislature's attorneys says in a memo that unless there is an emergency, state law requires the Legislature to meet in the Capitol building.

The Wisconsin Legislative Council memo says circumstances do not currently exist that allow for convening the Legislature outside of the Capitol building.

9. I have looked at history, and it has happened here.
Milwaukee had its own "Haymarket Square" in 1886. I posted about it elsewhere.

7. Just like the thugs sent out to create chaos in Egypt...
We haven't had a real democracy since before the 2000 election - but neither party will deal with that reality.

13. So where are the Democrats?
Why hasn't any Democratic politician spoken up in support?

Do the Dems realize the unions are being attacked because they dared support liberal democrats?
