The GOP has once again telegraphed their punch on the recall election. They are going to say the those who left the State were not doing there job. This argument is seriously flawed. Quorum requirements exist to protect the rights of the minority. Using the quorum requirement as a negotiating stategy is open to both parties. QUORUM IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LEADERSHIP!! It is up to the Majority to prevent this from happening by negotiating in good faith. In fact the GOP was given opportunities to prevent this. When the Democrats were in charge they prevented this by bargaining in good faith. What is worse is the failure of Republican's to defend their actions in court.
