Basically ruined everything in and around the building, put law enforcement in harms way tore the senate rule book in half and basically broke every personal relationship in the building. it doesnt surprise me that they offered them a heros rally. its disappointing. i think they have he totally misunderstood what the republican senators have gone through, the death threats that still exist. our inability to really, i think, repair some of what this institution, the wisconsin state senate food fo...

Unions. however, unions and middle-class voters look at this and saw it as a fly by night move. there was no democratic stated senators when the vote occurred. they shifted the bill taking all fiscal matters out of it and voted without a quorum. so scott walkers poll numbers are down and clearly he is focus on the democratic party. >> heather: do you think it will affect other states. lets take a look at the numbers. at least hundred thousand people estimated to be there converging on the capito...

Vilify or denigrate public sector employees but bring them into the process and he believes these actions violate those principles. >> they absolutely do. he said it was about one thing and its about something else. legally the only way he could take that vote with a democratic senators not there to form quorum would be to make it a non-budgetary item. by said sit was the all about budget but that cant be true since they took it away from the budget. megyn: limiting the unions right to bargain a...

That saw so much rain earlier in the week. we will keep you posted throughout the morning. >> rob, thanks. >> thanks, rob. democrats in wisconsin crying foul this morning. they are upset because republicans in the state senate now have made what they call a legislative end run to get a bill passed to essentially end collective bargaining rights for most state workers. you remember this story that the 14 state senate democrats had fled the state three weeks ago in order to prevent a vote. well,...

Collective bargaining forms would be in. we were able to get the 5 and 12% savings also and multiple nonpart son agencies that advised both democrats and republicans in the senate advised us that this was a way to do that and still be in compliance with the narrow definition for the three 50s requirement. thats why there was not a need nor 20 senators to be in the senate last night and weve complied with that. we followed the law, and it allows us to move forward with these reforms, which are in...

Strips state workers of most collective bargaining rights. that vote came after republicans they took out the appropriation measures, the funding provisions that required that quorum of 20. cnns ed lavandera is still there. the meeting last night seemed to have set the whole thing off today. first i want to listen to the confrontation from that meeting and then well chat. >> the provision like all the other provisions of the open meetings laws must be provide the public with the information abou...

The democrats that have been boycotting did not return to madison for the vote. republicans were able to do it without a full quorum because they cut the bill in half stripping out the budget provisions. if they had the budget provisions they would have to be there, some of them anyway to have a quorum but just on the issue of collective bargaining theyre allowed to vote on that issue because it has no financial implication, no budget propose situation without a full quorum. it has approved shar...
