Taking a page from their cowardly peers in Wisconsin who fled to Illinois, it seem the Indiana State Democrat Legislators have also fled to another state as well.
Since this seems to be a trend, I think we should instantly try to push through a national anti-civil service union law. I'll even personally pay for Nancy Pelosi's bus ticket to Toronto, if she just promises to stay there. (In support of her union brothers and sister... of course.)

A commenter over at NRO had a great idea: call it the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Act of 2011

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management.
"The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations.
"Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees.
"A strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable."
Yeah I think we're missing the upside of this little tantrum.
That's the really funny part - they aren't changing anything, or accomplishing anything, they're just delaying a thing. It's going to happen no matter what they do.
But as we all know, recognizing reality (even while it's biting them on the @$$) is not a strong suit of Democrats.
I can't wait to see how this little stunt plays in the next election.
