        They can also be arrested for leaving if I read right and you know that is coming if true...

                      Eh they knew that was going to happen and we would be cheering if our side did that. They just need to wait it out the arrest will be a dog and pony show and likely help them more than hurt them. (Which they know they did the calculus)

                        Speak for yourself. Denying a quorum is a legal procedural maneuver in a democracy. Arresting people for doing that is insane.

                          The arrest in this case isn't to put them in jail, it's to drag them back to the Capitol to ensure a quorum is present. That is also standard in these cases (which is why they fled the state in the first place).

                          It's the legislative equivalent of a contempt of court: the person can get out immediately by complying, or in this case, being present in the Capitol.

                              No. They swore an oath to do their duty. The governor legally called a special session. They should be there. Full stop.

                              You really want to put the ability to halt US Senate business in the hands of 30 or 35 quorum-defying Republicans? We'd long for the good-old-days when it was just the filibuster.

                              Breaking quorum may be a "legal procedural maneuver" - but it's one that nevertheless has consequences.
                              If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?
