14 AWOL Wisconsin Senator- In Contempt

The 14 Wisconsin Senators, who have been hiding out in Illinois have been found in contempt of Senate as of 4:00PM CST yesterday.



It orders Wisconsin law enforcement agency to detain and bring to the Senate floor the 14 missing Democrat Senators, if found in Wisconsin.
This is a contempt citation of the Senate, which is a crime.
One problem, they are in Illinois.
So how does the Wisconsin government get these 14 AWOL Senator back in to Wisconsin???

Easy: The US Constitution helps in this manner:
Article 4, Section 2
A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

Problem is, Quinn will never follow the Constitution, like a lot of Democrats fail to do lately.
