"It's not that hard to follow the rules and stay out of trouble" continues to be true.

Guys, why are republicans so bad at following the rules and staying out of trouble?

Maybe don't miss work?

Also, it wasn't ten days, iirc it was like six weeks and the Governor had to hunt them down.

This right here.

It makes absolutely no sense for a politician to be elected, then just bail because they didn't get their way.

So the citizens voted for this amendment and Republicans are upset at the Supreme Court? Doesn't make sense.

If I "staged a walkout" to stall a project at my job I'd be fired on the spot.

I don't know why these people treat their positions like a circus instead of a job.

As I said in the other topic, this seems perfectly fine at first glance. But would the general tune change if instead of knobheads protesting something stupid it was instead a Dem minority being disqualified in a deep red state for staging an absenteeist protest to deny quorum against a heinous anti-gay bill, or a horrible abortion law, or a ridiculous gerrymandering attempt?

The answer to real (and hypothetical) abuses from red state GOP majorities is never to allow blue state GOP minorities to rule/block all progress.

The GOP is always and everywhere worthless when it's not being actively evil. Therefore any concessions to Republicans are, at best, extremely questionable.

I highly doubt they thought the rules would apply to them. Or that they could somehow get around being denied reelection. Most likely though they never knew this rule was in place and fucked around without knowing they were about to find out.

IIRC, they knew about it but tried to argue it wouldn't apply for the next election, but instead apply to the election after that.
