Hoosier Democrats Walk Out to Protest Law that Penalizes Walking Out

What a joke. You can't make this stuff up. If you did, nobody would believe it.

Minority Democrats in the Indiana Senate walked out of the chamber Wednesday to protest passage of an amendment meant to prevent the kind of legislative boycott that led to a 34-day standoff this year in the Indiana House.

But because more than two-thirds of the Senate’s members are Republicans, the Democrats had no way to stop the vote and it went on without them.

The provision — added to the state budget bill — passed 36-0 with no Democrats voting.

An emotional Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-Hammond, told his colleagues that he was insulted and upset by the proposal. Did somebody say Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
