News that state Senate Democrats now in Illinois could be taken into custody, is provoking strong public reaction.
The threat by Senate Republicans to have their out-of-state colleagues detained and brought back to Wisconsin, surfaced during a Milwaukee rally supporting Gov. Scott Walker. Participant Alicia Smokewitz says she wouldn't mind if the 14 democrats are held against their will.
Outside the Milwaukee rally, standing among hundreds of pro-union demonstrators was Gil Bryan of the United Steelworkers. He says Senate Republicans have over-reached.
Gov. Walker, Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats say they are still trying to work out their dispute, as the GOP Senate leader says the state is now in a constitutional crisis.
The Senate Democrats say they are doing work while in Illinois.
