never said they were doing anything illegal. I said that what they’re doing isn’t consistent with a democratic form of government. fillibustering (while I would share in your characterization of it as rancid and retarded) is a component of a legislative assembly. it shouldn’t, but it is.
not showing up to do something that you were elected to do - and which comprises the very essence of a democratic form of government - is not.
and I’m not sure why you feel that recalling absentee legislators is a valid response, but somehow overturning enacted legislation by subsequent recall or election isn’t really good enough.
