They are busing union support up from Chicago. Jesse Jackson & Co. etc.

This will get ugly tomorrow and watch which side is peaceful.

On Wisconsin!

Hopefully other States will pick up on uncle mo and join in.

If you are worried about Wisconsin's deficit, is anybody angry that Walkers' special session just gave new tax breaks to corporations, causing $120 million in unfunded new deficit from 2011 to 2013?

And Tea Partiers from other states, with Andrew Breitbach.

So far the Police Chief has complimented the protestors on being so calm and well-behaved. We'll see what happens when outsiders join in, yes.

UMad campus is liberal but violent they are not. If anything bad occurs tomorrow it will be the outsiders.

I don't see any need for outsiders to physically be there.

Update: Fox says Jesse Jackson has already been there all day today. No problems.

Today 6:45 PM Action-Packed Assembly
Amanda Terkel reports from the ground in Madison:

There was big action on the Assembly side Friday night. Assembly Republicans voted to move forward on the Walker proposal -- even though not a single Assembly Democrat was present. (Unlike the state House, Republicans don't need Democrats to reach a quorum.)

Democrats, meanwhile, drafted amendments and were briefed by the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau. They promised to come to floor at 5:00 p.m.

However, Republicans passed the bill beyond the "amenable stage" just a few minutes before -- without any Democrats. One Republican said he assumed Democrats weren't going to show up.

Several Democrats then took to the floor and delivered impassioned speeches condemning what took place.

The Republican Assembly Speaker eventually admitted that what they did was wrong, and went back to the "amenable stage." They will reconvene on Tuesday.
