Yup, They’re Gone

Wisconsin state Democratic senator won’t reveal his location but believes all the Democratic senators have left the state.

The Senate sergeant-at-arms has completed a search of the Capitol building and having found no Democratic senators it’s not clear what he’ll do next. Also unclear is how aggressive the state patrol will be in trying to round up the recalcitrant Democrats — although if they’re all out of state then the state patrol is handcuffed, as it were.
