Finally, some Democrats know how to fight! Are you watching Obama?

Indiana Democrats deny Republicans quorum to pass anti-union bill

House Minority Leader B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, said this was no walk-out, but a "filibuster."
Democrats, he said, want "to prevent a bill being rammed down the public's throat. We refuse to let the most controversial public policy bill of the decade be railroaded through with the public being denied their fair and adequate input."

Instead of a joint hearing on Friday, Bauer said, Democrats want the legislature to hold hearings around the state on the issue. But while he said Democrats would not go to Illinois as they did in the 2011 stand-off, he did not promise Democrats would return if those hearings were held, saying only that they would be "very helpful" and "some kind of a carrot to the stick that they've given the people."
