Democratic 14

Maximum Senate Majority-Leader-For-Life (in his own mind) Scott Fitzgerald didn't pull any punches. In a withering statement issued this morning in which he called the 14 Democratic state senators all manner of names, the Republican autocrat said, "Their appearance at the Capitol today is in direct violation of the contempt order issued by the state Senate earlier this month, and it proves their absolute disregard for the institution of the Senate and the constitution they took an oath of office to serve."

But wait, there's more. Interviewed Friday by WITI-TV Fox 6 News in Milwaukee, Fitzgerald was quoted on camera saying that if the returning 14 Democrats appear at today's protest rally, as they plan, they risk being arrested on charges of contempt.
