Instead of conservatives seceding from Liberal America, liberals are seceding from Conservative America

Now Indiana Democrats are leaving their state for Illinois (a.k.a. the sanctuary state for fleeing Democrats) and Kentucky to protest an anti-public union bill. Maybe Democrats and their public union buddies who are fleeing the democratic process will spawn a second American civil war. This second “civil war” appears to be about ordinary Americans fighting to free themselves from their forced tax servitude to the public sector unions.

James P. sends this from the Indianapolis Star:

Seats on one side of the Indiana House were nearly empty today as House Democrats departed the the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation.

A source tells the Indianapolis Star that Democrats are headed to Illinois, though it was possible some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana.

The House came into session twice this morning, with only three of the 40 Democrats present. Those were needed to make a motion, and a seconding motion, for any procedural steps Democrats would want to take to ensure Republicans don’t do anything official without quorum.
