Man-up and call them out, Fatso.
Now THAT'S funny!!
You telling ME to "man up"...
:lol::lmao:

Man-up and call them out, Fatso.
There's two who were wrong...
huh? we aren't wrong. you clearly didn't understand what nigel posted. nor do you understand what we said.
LOL...Right...whatever you say cupcake.
You claimed the orders signed Thursday by the Republican leader of the Wisconsin Senate allow the sergeant at arms to detain the missing senators and use police force if necessary.
...Nigel showed that you were wrong.
...Nigel posted how Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald was repeatedly warned he would be stepping outside the law if he forcibly returned 14 Democratic senators who fled Wisconsin in February, according to internal emails. Records obtained from the offices of Fitzgerald and Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Ted Blazel show Fitzgerald was told he was on shaky legal ground by attorneys from three state agencies.
That you can't admit you were wrong is SOOOOOOOOOOOO surprising!
Zappa's too busy falling all over himself because he thinks he finally got an opportunity to resemble a man. He's always shooting his wad way too soon and his hysterical joy at believing he's scored is truly a sight to behold.
uh....he was given OPINIONS as to the law...nigel's link clearly states that it is unknown whether it would be legal or not....and again, they were all merely opinions....thus, the governor may in fact have that power....
nice try, but you really need to go back and read it, because you have no idea what you're talking about and you're distorting that nigel posted.

If no one will enforce your order, you don't have the power, as I said was the case.
Art IV section 7 may compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and under such penalties as each house may provide
therefore, they can compel them by arresting them to attend. this does not conflict with your cherry pick. you just want to ignore the law. Its clear, that if the members want to compel attendance by arrest, they can.
they can be arrested for high speed driving, drunk driving etc...the breach of the peace is broad nigel....and here they likely could be considered breaching the peace...so even if you want to go down that road, you will lose. courts in other jurisdictions have upheld such forcible returns with the same if not similar clause in their constitutions. if you can't use the arrest power, then it is absolutely meaningless to claim they have the power to enforce they own rules and COMPEL attendance. your view would make that law toothless and therefore meaningless.
such an interpretation would likely never win in court. i have case law backing me up...any case supporting you nigel?![]()
just to be clear...i'm not saying they can be arrested out of state
Now now now...you JUST said that if the members wanted to compel attendance by arrest, they could have.
Now you're moving the goalposts...as usual.
There's two who were wrong...
First one said "should" not "will", second said, "they can, but won't"...
Two that were not wrong. Try again.

Man-up Fatso and admit you were wrong.
Hey lookie there...more ridiculous semantic nonsense from Damo when he absolutely knows I am right.
The bottom line is they both cited what they thought was legal precedent to apprehend the Democratic Senators. Now however, it has come to light that attorneys with access to more information regarding this situation than either SF, Yurtle or yourself are privy to repeatedly advised Fitzgerald he would likely be stepping outside the law and on shaky legal ground if he attempted to do what SF and Yurt described...
In other words...
They.
Were.
Wrong.
how dishonest can zappa get....it is UNSETTLED law at this time....they might be right and we might be right. to say we are wrong at this time is total bullshit....its PURE OPINION on all parties at this point....you dumb hillbilly
you stepped in it big time zappa....
Damo already did. I'm not surprised you're not man enough to admit that.PROVE I was wrong...
