LOL - have you not watched the Republicans in the United States Senate for the past two years? Obstruction via every possible technical manouver was exactly what they did. Day, after day, after day

The GOP in the House are doing massive political manouvering right now - adding tons of amendments to the short-term financing extension bill, that they know the Dems don't like (defund Planned Parenthood, defund PPACA, etc) - because they know the Senate won't pass that, nor will Obama pass that, so when the government shutdown occurs March 4, the GOP can try and blame the Democrats. The Democrats will blame the GOP for larding up the short-term extension with political culture war issues. That's how it works

Good for the Wisconsin Dems for being smart enough to leave down (as other parties have done in other states, for the same reasons). They are fighting for the ability of people to unionize.

Walker did NOT campaign on the promise to break up unions and eliminate them.
