45. The party should have walked out to deny quorum
so no vote could be had.

Am I wrong to think this is a possibility? Don't we have enough Dems to walk out and keep them from having quorum?

Can't we campaign and say all we could do to stop them was to walk out?
That we won't allow anyone to destroy our country in a disasterous bid to save it?
That we won't be part of wiping our ass with the Constitution?


I am no Roger's Rules expert, but I sat and watched a minority Republican Congress score occasional victories and stop many a piece of legislation during our last majority.
