. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/4kumdkv . .Wisconsin State Representative Mark Pocan, the former co-chair of the legislature's powerful Joint Finance Committee, says he is starting to feel as if he lives in a "third world junta."
.Wisconsin State Senator Bob Jauch, a senior Democrat, says that what he is witnessing feels like "a coup."
.Marty Beil, the head of the AFSCME Council 24, the state's largest public employee union, said Wisconsin had been turned into "a banana republic."
.And thousands of Wisconsinites, men and women, adults and their children, public employees and private-sector workers, have poured into the state Capitol in Madison, shouting: "Shame! Shame! Shame!"
.At the close of one of the most remarkable days in American political history, a state once regarded as among the most enlightened and progressive in the nation finds itself ruled by rouge Republican operatives whose disregard for rules and the popular will is so extreme that the longest serving legislator in the nation, Wisconsin State Senator Fred Risser, a Madison Democrat, says: "They have not just bent the law. They have broken it."
.Risser is right. After weeks of intense debate inside and outside the Capitol, and at a point when most Wisconsinites thought a compromise was in the offering, Republican legislative leaders suddenly announced that they would pass the most draconian components of Governor Scott Walker's budget repair bill including a move to strip public employees of their collective bargaining rights.
