**UPDATED**
So the Wisconsin Republicans have finally taken action:
Republicans pushed a provision stripping public employees of their collective bargaining rights through the state Senate Wednesday evening by separating it from Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget bill.
The action, if it stands, would have the effect of rendering moot a Democratic attempt to keep the provision from passing the Senate. The vote in the Senate was 18-1. No Democrats were present.
Wow! They went with the nuclear option. The Ed Show is going to be AWESOME tonight!
According to Hot Air, it’s now on the way to the Assembly to be voted on tomorrow. And apparently there is a huge protest scheduled for tomorrow. Now the fun begins.
